Buying a property near high voltage power lines?

Staying near transformers or high voltage devices? Do check for exposure


We usually wouldn't really think about the health impact of grid lines but this might matter after all.


Staying near a high voltage power line, transformer, cell phone towers or even tiny street powerlines over roof top could have serious implications on health.


When electricity flows, an electromagnetic field is created as twisting patterns around the source of the radiation like a whirl wind. Its strength depends on a number of factors, but how much and how strong the electricity flows through is significant. As the distance from the source is increased, the strength of the magnetic field is proportionally reduced.


Electromagnetic fields is expressed in milligauss (mG) or nanoTesla (nT). Safe value might vary depending on the type of the power source.


While there are no conclusive scientific evidence on the impact to specific health conditions, there are multiple researches that indicate potential impact. From our end, it does make sense to be aware and stay away from these energy fields as much as we can.


If your House/plot lands/play area are nearby high voltage lines, transformers, street power lines or cell phone towers - please do measure for the EMF exposure. This can be initially done by ourselves using emf meters/detectors available online. Or a professional can be consulted as well.


*Investigation of the EMF exposure is recommended when you are nearby :

1. High voltage power lines (these are large transmission lines also known as walkers; not the street power lines) – anywhere within 1200m / ¾ of a mile

2. Transformer box; – 150 meter / 165 yards

3. Electrical substation – 150 meter / 165 yards

4. Street power lines on ‘your’ side of the street (above or underground)

5. Solar panels being present on the home


When you are buying a house or plot don't forget to notice the power lines and the distance of the power lines from your place. Also investigate for the more common radiation types we find in most homes (electric fields in the bedroom and radio frequency radiation from phone towers, FM, wifi etc.)
