Power High
What are the dangers of living near power lines?
We are looking for a new apartment for my family and found a perfect in the perfect location, large size and cheaply, but I noticed it is on the top floor with a power line approximately 50 meters. I heard that living near power lines were blamed for everything brain cancer with poor mental health, but was wondering if any of this stuff has been proven or is it just paranoia / old tales good wife?
It is known that certain types of radiated energy can cause cellular changes in living beings. However, no effective link has even been established between the proximity of power lines and actual health problems. There was a study of Colorado suggested that could be a cluster of cases of childhood leukemia in a neighborhood near a power line. When this study was examined in detail, it was found to erroneous results and could not be believed. Curiously, there was also a report that came out of the Union USSR in the 1950s that people who actually worked on high voltage transmission lines has decreased libido. Sadly, the report could not separate the effects of exposure to electric fields against the effects of alcohol too much vodka. The basic theory is that if there is a link, it is due to electric field of the power line. In fact, in most cases, the electric field in a house is more a result of internal wiring the house is from power lines near the house. Although most major utilities to take care to provide a right range of transition to separate power lines from adjacent homes. The other consideration of the basic theory is that if cell damage due to electric field, the effect will be exacerbated if the person remains in the field of stationery for extended periods. Frankly, this means that the worst cases may actually be sleeping under a blanket - you tend to sit still during sleep, and the electric blanket that is the source of the electric field actually wraps the body.
