Overhead high voltage lines

Hi everyone,

Although I realise my question is not actually "electronics" related, I
thought I might ask the question here as its "electricity" related.

I'm looking at houses, and one of the areas in which I'm looking has quite a
few of the massive overhead power lines on the big metal towers.
No doubt you're aware that people fear the EMF generated by such lines, and
I wondered is it really worth worrying about, or are there any known facts
relating to what could possibly result in the potential for radiation
injuries and/or cancer, etc from continued exposure to the generated fields.

Any opinions or useful web sites on the subject would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation,

Adam

** Just Google " power lines cancer " .

Take your paranoid, conspiracy theory TROLLING elsewhere.

**I hope you don't use a cell 'phone. The radiation from one of those
puppies, 1cm from your noggin is MUCH worse than power lines 10 Metres off
the ground. And for heavan's sake don't EVER lie on a bed with an electric
blanket! Don't forget that pesky inverse square law stuff, which I'm certain
you remember from high school. With a leccy blanky, you're on it for upwards
of 8 HOURS and it is close contact with your body for that time.
Additionally, it is generally thought that the frequency of the waveform is
more harmful as it is increased (those pesky cell 'phones again), so 50Hz
from power lines 10 Metres up is pretty much unlikely to do any damage at
all.

Cell 'phones, OTOH, are a more serious worry. I am convinced that all the
data is yet to be properly collated from these things. And I don't mean cell
'phone towers either (inverse square law and all that).

Don't buy a house under or near big power lines.
Regardless of whether or not there is any real health risk, your resale
value will SUCK.

There has been some tests done recently that detect electrostatic
trapping of atmospheric pollutants around HV powerlines so the
combination of pollution and HV powerlines is not good.

Then obviously the current/previous owners resale value will suck and YOU
will get a bargain :)
The relative increase over time will almost certainly be similar to any
other house in the wider area.

If you can find someone who will buy it.
There are other disadvantages too, like any money spent on upgrading a
house under a power line is a much worse investment than the same money
spent on one not under power lines.
Houses under power lines get a vastly lower number of potential buyers,
so when it's time to sell, you have less chance of getting a sucker
paying a high price, or people outbiding each other in a frenzy market
etc.

All of which acts in your favour when you're looking to buy a house to live
in, rather than an investment property.
The health aspect would be less of a worry for an investment property though
:)

For ages now I was wondering if you were a wanker or not.



** OTOH, I was never in any such doubt about YOU for a moment.

Now you have proven it to me. My most service calls have been due to
electronic equipment below, or near major power lines.


** ROTFL !!

What has that load of obvious bollocks got to do with rampant paranoia over
cancer - FUCKWIT ??

No need to reply - its was rhetorical ......


You should limit your replies to your very basic experience in kiddy
hi-fi.


** May I very sincerely suggests you go straight back to perusing your
Downs Syndrome kiddie fucking web sites - as per usual.

I don't think you understand what trolling is. This may help
<http://www.faqs.org/faqs/cultures/irish-faq/part01/section-6.html>.
You will find the last sentence particularly illuminating so I'll
repeat it here "It's perhaps worth mentioning that not everything you
personally find offensive is necessarily a troll."
