Dangers of Living Near Power Lines. What’s the Risk?
Yes, EMF’s (electromagnetic frequencies) are potentially dangerous. Even the WHO (World Health Organization), which isn’t necessarily on top of everything health related, recognizes this saying that EMF’s are possibly carcinogenic to humans. (source) Note that this was a reversal of their previous position, such as in 2002, where they said EMF’s did not cause cancer. Various industries have always muddied the scientific waters by lobbying and having front groups. Tobacco did it decades ago. And various businesses in the wireless, cell phone and other industries have also been doing it for years. For example, here is the American Transmission Company’s stance on the subject.

So, let’s go deeper into the health risks living near power lines.
- Headaches
- Chronic fatigue
- Brain fog
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep troubles
- Poor memory loss
- Numbness and tingling
- Ringing in the ears

Is it Safe Living Near Power Lines?
Or to put it into other words, what is the safe distance to live from power lines? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJi57Qmk4mM] This is a common issue in selling real estate as people have a natural aversion to living close to high voltage power lines. Some of it may be because of how they look, but there’s likely also the intuitive feeling that it may not be so good to do so. But how close is too close? EMF’s get weaker over distance according to the inverse square law. In essence, that means that being twice as far from them means you’re only exposed to one fourth the field. What that means is that the further away you are from the power lines the less EMF radiation you’re exposed too. To understand it another way, the lamp on your bedside table is likely affecting you with a higher field than a power line, but that depends on how close it is. To quote again from Review of Studies Concerning Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Exposure Assessment in Europe: Low Frequency Fields (50 Hz–100 kHz), they found that: “Living or attending school within 100 m of a voltage power line higher than 132 kV increased mean exposure by a factor of 3.5 and bedroom measurements by a factor 6.9 compared to a control group exposed to neither power lines nor in-building step-down transformers.” This means is that a distance of about 300m should have very little effect. And these were high-voltage power lines. Different ones run more or less power. This picture from HydroQuebec gives you an idea of the power differences between different lines. Living near power lines as shown on the left isn’t so much a problem. Living near the big one on the right is much more so.
What Can You Do to Protect Yourself and Your Family from Power Lines?
First step is to avoid living near power lines if possible. But, unfortunately, that is not always possible. Still, of the dangers, in most cases power lines are not the worst of the EMF culprits out there. But for all of it, that’s where Blushield technology can come in. Find out how Blushield works here. Depending on how close and how powerful the power lines are, and any other EMF nearby such as cell towers, smart meters, etc., you’d want to get at least a Plugin, but may be better suited with the Cube or the Ultra.Share
