"TLDR"?? Wow. If you read studies the same way and don't go beyond the first sentence of the abstract, then no wonder you've failed to spot the methodological problems in said EHS studies! You can test for anything in a way that won't find a statistically significant effect. Say you wanted to study whether self-reported "food allergy" exists or not and you exposed all your subjects to only strawberries. Only some of your subjects would react to specifically strawberries and you could conclude that "food allergy" doesn't exist. Same problem with the negative EHS studies because they expose all to the same frequency and only with a very short exposure.
Now please read the Rea et al. study referenced above, it explains it all very well.
