How long should i stay away from electricity towers?

Question

i need to buy new house and i found a good one but it is near by eletricity towers or may be not all i need to know is how long should i stay away from it?

Answer 1

I'd install a Faraday cage in your house, and never come out...Just kinding...

You dont have anything to worry about. I'm around high EMF all day and theres Nojflhjxm.bc  woiong with mnem,bmg

Answer 2

The question about electromagnetic field strength is generally treated as safe.  The question I have is "What chemicals were used to deforest the hydro right-of-way".  You're more likely to have health issues due to herbicides used to clear the path than due to EM fields.

If it's only the EM you're concerned with, you could build a 'Faraday cage' into your walls - Get a metal roof, and embed either tin foil or chicken wire into it - then ground it.  Just don't expect any free wifi, cell access, or radio reception inside without an external antenna.  This is essentially what foreign consulate offices do to prevent or minimize 'bugs' or electronic eavesdropping.

Answer 3

Do you enjoy being the light of the party........just kind of glowing in the dark, sparky lol............location location location..........good luck.......the price might be right ...but  maybe there's a reason.............

Answer 4

In October 2000, Discover magazine listed the twenty greatest engineering blunders of the past 20 years.  EMF's made the list.  Below is the article along with a link to the magazine's online version of the article.

Currents That Don't Kill

The Clinton administration estimates that American taxpayers have paid $25 billion to determine that power lines don't do anything more deadly than deliver power. In 1989, Paul Brodeur published a series of articles in The New Yorker raising the possibility of a link between electromagnetic fields and cancer. Eight years later, after several enormous epidemiological studies in Canada, Britain, and the United States, the danger was completely discounted. "All known cancer-inducing agents act by breaking chemical bonds in DNA," says Robert Park. "The amount of photon energy it takes is an ultraviolet wavelength. So any wavelength that is longer cannot break chemical bonds. Visible light does not cause cancer. Infrared light is still longer, radio waves longer still. Power-line fields are preposterous. The wavelength is in miles."

Answer 5

At least a week, maybe ten days to be safe...

Answer 6

If you still think there is a problem despite the hundreds of studies saying there is none then you need to go at least three towns away from any tower. It would also help if you lived on a street with no overhead street wiring.

In real life it is nothing to worry about.
