Is it really harmful to live near power lines? Let's say a power line 220 50 meters from a private house

Any excessive impact of physical factors on the body causes a violation of the body's homeostasis (constant internal environment). The question is - how long will the compensatory reactions of your body last before the development of pathology? As the proverb says: "Where it is thin, there it breaks." Usually there is averaged data from special services that do these calculations. Don't get sick.

Well, it's not just that there are sanitary norms and rules? The acceptable levels of EMF were similarly not developed for fun. For everything there is a physical and mathematical calculation and the values ​​of any radiation for a short period and in the long term are developed just in order to protect a person.

The strength of the magnetic field on the surface of the Earth, where humanity was born, lives and continues to prosper, is equal to about 50 microtesla, which is 10 times higher than the "dangerous threshold" of the magnetic field, which one of the experts wrote about.

Many of us have been diagnosed with a Magnetic Resonance Tomograph, where a magnetic field of 0.3 ÷ 3 Tesla is generated, which is about 200,000 times more than the "dangerous threshold", and nothing. All OK. The electric field itself is not dangerous. Electric current through the body is dangerous if it exceeds 10 milliamperes. Just walking on the home carpet, we gain an electrical potential equal to several thousand volts. Oh, how scary. And nothing. All OK.

But the power line is still dangerous in the event of an accident - a break in the high-voltage line. Therefore, it is best to live away from power lines.

Good luck and good luck.
