    There are also other houses that are built much closer to the line but I am concerned about how electromagnetic lines can affect our health.

    Despite many efforts, no one has yet managed to prove that there is any negative impact on our health. Which, moreover, does not prevent various haunted individuals from honking left and right about the harmfulness of what they live on and what they subsist on. They have already made money on you, because you bought the equipment from them.

    And lest I don't know myself, I will explain that for several years I worked in a high voltage station, where the distance between the employee and the wires is only a few meters, so I wanted to apply for a salary allowance due to such harmfulness. Unfortunately, no serious research has shown such an impact, and the employer declined it for lack of grounds.

    Can you imagine what would happen if this type of harmfulness was confirmed?
    After all, the WN lines must pass somewhere.

    A plot of land in such a neighborhood is definitely cheaper.

    I imagine, because many have tried to prove research has been conducted in many countries.

    Sure, but not because of the harmfulness of the lines, only a nasty view from the window.

    Because this research cannot be different in any country.
    Suppose they turn out to be harmful, and then what?
    Liquidation, paying compensation? After all, it is impossible, so the results cannot come out otherwise.

    What about a failure? The fact that this is rare, but it is possible.

    What is there to be? It is removed and that's it.

    Don't write fairy tales because they get boring.

    We have already discussed such a panic meter. :D

    This is the disadvantage of this meter.

    The alarm threshold of 40 V / m is definitely too low (for 50 Hz).
    For higher frequencies it is already above the norm.

    I assume you can approximately check at the high voltage line where it occurs exceeding the Polish standard of 1000 V / m.

    Well, unless a passionate profession - an energy specialist will buy. Then the view (for him) was quite pleasant. :-)
    As for the presence of the HV line in the vicinity, additional lightning protection is provided.

    Hello to all forum members.
    It's good that such a topic arose. Everywhere you look, whether it is on the Internet or on TV, it scares you that it is harmful, that it is harmful. Who thinks logically will ask an important question: I am asking for evidence that something is harmful.
    I am not one of those people who believe unfoundedly in what I have heard or seen on TV. When I hear or see something, I do not believe it, but I try to carry out my own research if possible to confirm whether it is true or simply intimidation to say so. People, since they started building high-voltage lines, live under them, walk under them, work under them. This cannot be avoided. I have never heard of ANY case of anyone getting sick because of their deterioration. Even more: no studies have confirmed that the high-voltage line is harmful. Let's think logically. If that were the case, what would happen to those people who live or work underneath them. They would probably fall sick or, in the worst case, die. And is it so? Was there even ONE such case? Well, NO. Nothing of the kind has been documented or proven. We live on a planet where there is a network of transmitters of various types, a network of transmission lines etc. etc. Has anyone been hurt? Absolutely not. They scare us in the same way that smoking is harmful. I hear it a lot from people. Then I ask them an important question: Show me the evidence of it. Not heard but own evidence.
    What kind of answer do I get then? No response. I've known people who are already dead. They died of cancer. Interestingly, none of these people have ever smoked. I know people who smoke and that's not enough. They are still alive without any harm to their health. Nay. They have better health than those who don't smoke. So smoking is harmful or not? Those who believe ONLY IN A WORD and have not carried out their own research will say: Yes, it does.
    And I say: It doesn't matter.
    Those who have carried out their own research, not only in their own environment, must have found the Innemedium website or just enter "Smoking kills with laughter" in the search engine. There is a good topic there, of course, for logical people who do not have a closed mind.
    So the question arises: Why are we being scared so much that something is harmful? What is the purpose of this? Especially that research not only by scientists suggests something completely different.
    So, answering the question: The high-voltage lines do not harm in any way.
    Only one thing hurts: The chemicals you add to your food. This is where various diseases come from, including cancer.

    With this cancer, you are right. The claim that smoking kills is also greatly exaggerated. However, as a practitioner (36 years of smoking on average 2 packs / 24h), I find that cigarette tar causes respiratory failure. It is impossible to run 100 meters.

    The truest truth! Sweeteners are especially effective in destroying the liver.
    As for the WN and NN lines, you are 100% right. I am writing this as an electric power engineer.

    But there is an important question to ask again:
    Is the fact that we cannot run these 100 meters is the result of the fact that we smoke or is it our body's fault, which is known to age over time and we already do some things worse, e.g. running these 100 meters is already causing problems. I smoke for about the same number of years as you and think to yourself that I don't have any health problems. I will say more: I ride a bicycle to work. I have 11 km one way. And I'm not even getting tired. So if the tar was harmful, I probably wouldn't have traveled even 1km. And it turns out that tar does not hurt (especially since we smoke cigarettes with a filter), but our body is aging and not taking care of the condition properly, over time there will be problems with running even 10m. Once, I had lung tests, heart tests, etc. Every doctor looked incredulous that I was okay at all and that my health is like an 18-year-old boy. Everything clean and healthy. Especially since I tell the doctor that I smoke. They were even more surprised because, according to their knowledge, I should already be sick with something or be a wreck of a man of that age. And here they found nothing.
    And the tar in your lungs? It is enough to think in what environment we live in and what we breathe. Exhaust gases at every step, etc.

    Why not? for x-ray or similar bands they come out and it is known that they are harmful.
    In order for a given radiation to be harmful, it must transfer the appropriate energy, it is best seen in a microwave oven
    which are at 2.4Ghz and not 50hz :)

    This is only a matter of cigarettes and this is what the ex-smoker who was also in no condition said,
    And now I have it, but I have not been smoking for over 30 years and I go for walks, it all adds up a lot.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around concerns regarding health risks associated with living near a 220kV high-voltage power line, specifically focusing on electromagnetic fields (EMF) and their potential effects on health. The original poster measured EMF levels of 60V/m at 2m above ground and 5V/m at 1m, exceeding the 40V/m threshold. Responses indicate skepticism about the harmfulness of such EMF levels, citing a lack of conclusive scientific evidence linking high-voltage lines to health issues. Participants reference various studies and personal experiences, arguing that if high-voltage lines were indeed harmful, widespread health problems would be evident among those living and working near them. The conversation also touches on the economic implications of living near such infrastructure, suggesting that property values may be lower in these areas.
