Id speak to the council. The uT (microtesla) reading will be the magnetic field value. The home inspector did a reading with a GQ EMF-180. The consultant can then also investigate for the more common radiation types we find in most homes (electric fields in the bedroom and radio frequency radiation from phone towers etc. Sounds like quick action is required here. My house has aluminum skirting and the crawl space resonates with a sound wave. Patrick. TIA, Hi Eugenia, The evidence on proximity to these seems to be inconclusive one way or the other. Front door +/- 1.0mG He assured me the readings are much lower than those commonly associated with negative health effects. I have become more familiar with magnetic fields that come from underground cables running along streets, I measured 30 Milligauss at the front door of properties along a terraced houses street, near a large shopping centre and cinema, it is possible that the power drawn by the shopping centre is creating bigger magnetic field exposure to the residents living in the terraced houses. 20mG? The majority of homes are not affected by these electromagnetic fields by a serious degree, but a home being exposed is certainly not rare either. Privacy Policy. My brother in law has started having seizures of sorts. Readings in the front room of the terraced cottages 7 milligauss in the front room, one of the front rooms is a bedroom, The kitchen at the back shows readings of 3 milligauss. Do you think it could be harmful? I found out in the beginning when I started doing home assessments, that a person can either make noise and try fight the issues of exposure, OR you can work to help people protect themselves from them. need advice, Hi Raghu, Are these numbers safe?!! and our Hello Patrick I live in a14 story bldg of 147 apts I am on the 6 floor and the bldg has 2 high power towers on top. Sorry for the delay Christmas break, back-log Ive started using my Facebook account. Also found high mG on the ground behind the house. I mean, what could it be at dinner? In order of magnitude (going smaller) it goes from 1 Tesla, to millitesla (1/1000th), microtesla (uT) (1/1,000,000th) to nanotesla(nT) (1/1,000,000,000th). A dedicated spotter who is in continuous contact with the operator. 1- 33000 power lines cause cancer or Brian toumer? If you see a sign that says High Voltage or Warning: High Voltage it is best to call an expert before proceeding with any further investigation. I believe they follow US guidelines here. Two-phase lines can carry 60 kV on one phase and 115 kV on the other phase. We are looking at a lovely home about 150 feet from high voltage lines not the huge lines that carry power from town to town, but the lines that carry from power stations to smaller sections of town. Everyone has to come to that decision themselves. Thanks very much, I would love a consultation if there was anything that can be done to correct this? It is magnetic fields that are linked to cancers. there is always some). Professionals can identify a dangerous line through color codes on power poles and by using several safety techniques that ensure compliance with all local regulations and guidelines. 3.47 to 28.5) for 123 KV, 10.78 (95%CI: 3.75 to 31) for 230 KV and 2.98 (95%CI: 0.93 to 9.54) for 400 KV lines. How close is too close when it comes to high voltage power lines, and how are our children affected? We were back at the house and measured ~25.0mG on the street and with numbers inside the house over 1.0mG. Hope it helps First, 11 kV is basically a distribution voltage level. A distance away but none the less very visible. The house is on a road that is crescent shaped. Very interesting to read. Nominal Voltage in kilovolts (kV) phase to phase Distance Phase to ground exposure (feet -inches) Phase to phase exposure (feet 169.1 kV - 242.0 kV 5 ft. 8 in. <> If you are concerned about arcing from the lines, you would be safe standing on the ground directly under transmission lines. Hard to say for sure of course. You cant shield against magnetic fields and they have been linked to cancer in multiple studies. It should be noted that when you build, you want to do all you can (as you should do anyway) not to ADD to the magnetic field issue. Provided the meter is accurate, that would be one of the worst homes Ive come across. Hi Paul, Good luck with the house hunt 1h%2Hq)}wREGdF=PWi-:|n|;|Gv)2)aVbsp +;J5 r(J09LAPvAB$2dYt#@{de$$h2C:&EUMb^Ti30NG],#"&8-37r'&t^e:drqm#z\n]_;KCz'4:{m4; z:h/`3#Y$/y,SwO6 } .? Generally speaking, a two-times safety buffer is required for low-voltage and high-voltage power lines. Dear Kim, thank you for your comment. Does anyone know where I can get a device that measures all of what was mentioned in the article? They put a school right under them on other side of me Im just outraged. Please consider buy my online course for the TF2 with it so you are confident on how to use it. I was not planning on staying there too long but wanted to know how long would be a safe length of time, should there be radiation levels within the house. Third, if you have access to a drone or helicopter it would be best to use one of these methods as they will provide an aerial view of what is above ground level from above. Every home buying situation is different, so you have to make up your own mind on what the best strategy is for your situation. ), and explain what needs to be updated to the property to create a healthier environment inside. This is needed in more and more homes, and in my opinion the bedrooms of all young girls should be shielded as they have all their eggs for future generations already within them as they grow up. The online course can be found at healthstronghold.teachable.com We may have someone in Tx soon, but we also have people that travel there and do assessments. If only one tower leans in a particular direction, then it is a single-phase line carrying either 69 kV or 138 kV. There are power lines next to it and im worried that it might be too close for the pollution to be deteroation. Good luck. If you see anything or anyone that violates safe clearance measures, you should report it immediately. But the readings jump around so much its hard to tell. The requirements of paragraph (b)(4) of this section do not apply to work covered by subpart V of this part. The radiation from other sources (wiring, phone towers etc) will need other better meters. My husband measured for magnetic fields inside using the Trifled2 and got good values ~0.1- 0.5mG. The other problem for those realising their health has been affected by something that is perfectly legal, is that by selling it, they are passing the problem to another family who are unaware. When we left the new subdivision we noticed that the phase we were looking at building in had the high tension lines running near it. Firstly phones make radiation. Would it be possible to answer through emails at this address. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Outreach Training Program (10- and 30-hour Cards), OSHA Training Institute Education Centers, Severe Storm and Flood Recovery Assistance. I have for you, answered your question in a video which Ive just uploaded. When we went to look at the model home and saw the map of the homes that will be built in the next phase, we saw some property that looked like we would be interested in securing now when that phase eventually gets into development. How about a swimming pool that is 200 feet from the high voltage lines? It is my area of expertise to assist people globally in helping them to build radiation-free homes (low in radiation. Can I sue for this Im 124 ft from the tower.. new house built by bf two years ago I didnt know him then but Im very much not well, never was.. however Im beginning to realize this house is obviously not helping. Defining the work zone as the area 360 degrees around the equipment, up to the equipment's maximum working radius. Depending on what instrument you use and the way it measures (a flat measurement or a weighted measurement), the values you dont want to exceed varies depending on who you speak to, but often lays between 0.8 mG and 0.3 mG (80 nT to 30 nT). Think about this: Governments and local building requirements have allowed buildings to be constructed close to power lines for so many years, and condoned the placement of high voltage power lines, as well as street power lines, very near existing homes. Look after yourself and do what you feel is right. As a result, the following Table A-2 Minimum Approach Distances shall apply. to cause any trouble for the owners as I have lived here for 14 years Before these towers were installed and have no other complaint Looking into purchasing a home near some transmission lines. Be careful with your purchase you have to get this magnetic field subject right. https://en.geovital.com/video-transmission-lines-being-build/ Mi mums windows are facing right a high voltage tram cabel as she lives right above the final stop, where trams are passing, and standing by. I got the GQ EMF 390 and it provided a reading over 120-140mG in the yard, 28-40mG near kitchen area and master bedroom and around 5-7mG throughout the house. Without knowing what meter you took on-site, Id immediately think that meter is faulty or simply not sensitive enough to pick up what we need to know. The problem is that the allowable exposure standards set by most governments is set way to high. Hello! Chronic complaint, fertility problems as well as cancers could be caused. Not magnetic fields. You should get it investigated by a professional and at the same time assess or address the other more typical EMFs in a home. If excessive EMR exposure from high voltage power lines cant be avoided or removed, as often it cant be, then moving yourself away from the home seems the only logical option. What do you recommend I do? The large power transfers along the West Coast are generally at 230 or 500 kV. If you are able to read markings on poles and lines, they will usually be in increments of kilovolts (kV) followed by amps (A). Most noteworthy, the right of way is just an index with little or no relevance to ELF radiation exposures. Select the method of measurement (feet or meters); Enter the maximum phase-to-phase system voltage, the maximum transient overvoltage resulting from an engineering analysis of the system, and the elevation of the worksite; Check the appropriate boxes to indicate "yes" answers to the questions, or uncheck them to indicate "no. A leaning tower with two phases has a total voltage of 138 kV (138 kilovolts). endobj Determine if any part of the equipment, load line or load (including rigging and lifting accessories), if operated up to the equipment's maximum working radius in the work zone, could get closer than 20 feet to a power line. It helps if your sensitive first, even if both HF and LF Radiation cause viscosity of the blood. please, Hi Richelle, But the average house and bedroom is not set up for regeneration, so my question would be more pressing; What are you exposed to when you are sleeping now (and likely have had that for all previous years, no matter which house you were in)? Is that too close, or am I safe? The link has been fixed, thank you. Good luck. Im assuming where you bought it there is also nobody to ask We are extremely health councious and would not move to a home that would be detrimental to our kids healthy.
