Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Can anyone in the group direct me to web site that has hard facts on living near transmission lines? I have a client that has some concerns and would like to arm myself with some facts on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Though EMF from power lines may be an issue, 95% of the magnetic field problems I have discovered in the last 15 years of testing are from in-house wiring. Almost all of these are associated with wiring errors (code violations) and are a potential safety and fire hazard. In terms of health, addressing this danger would be the priority.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Contact Sierck at Environmental Testing and Technology (located in San Diego). I believe is the most qualified person to comment on EMF. He does testing and he is current on the EMF issues. s e-mail is psierck@...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I have not looked into this issue for some months, but the best collection of current knowledge on this subject that I have seen is the California EMF study http://www.dhs.ca.gov/ehib/emf/RiskEvaluation/riskeval.html D.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Upon re-reading this report I note two things (as before): 1 The extreme variability of the response of those exposed has not yet been properly scoped, nor even discussed; 2 The issue of EMF from power lines may be a surrogate for exposure to pesticides commonly used along power lines, but was not highlighted. Two inputs from my own experience are: a several of my clients had to have high local EMF fields remediated (usually a ground loop problem) before they felt better; b reduction of these fields did make them feel better, although that could have been a placebo effect (I do not believe this, in these cases, but it is a possibility and I have not done either a single or double-blind experiment to find out). In my opinion some people react to low-level electrical fields (at 60 Hz) while others do not. These appear to be simultaneously true. Ongoing research may help us understand the problem, but those who react only need remediation of local high fields, not avoidance of all power lines within the visual field. Over-reaction here is a sign of hysteria, and is not conducive to achieving better health. Jim H.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Jim, Many years ago, when they reduced the speed limit to 55 mph. I remember reading a study where people were exposed to the low frequencies simulating 35,45, 55, 65 and 75 mph. Interesting, the study authors reported that people felt sick more often when exposed to the frequencies at 55 mph as compared to higher and lower speeds. Is it possible that 60 hz induces some low frequency harmonic in the human anatomy similar to the above study? BOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Interestingly enough, there are human body parts with resonant frequencies in that range. The use of noise at (very high intensity dB) low frequency has been succesfully applied to stop someone from breathing (unpublished). Despite this, I have only seen substantiated reports of molecular level changes in biogical tissue with regard to EMF, not macro.
