Why do you say that? Do you think there is a risk?Don't buy the house.
No idea and you won't find any definite answer so as opposed to worrying over the health of your family because you are in close proximity to these power cables, don't buy it. I hope you all remain healthy but you will rue the day should someone fall ill because you will blame yourself even though the power cables probably played no part.Why do you say that? Do you think there is a risk?
I don't have an electrical background and I am completely new to all this. It's really difficult for me to even understand the papers I have read which talk about safe distances depending on voltage etc. Even from the bits I've read there's lots of conflicting information. Much of it talks about the field to fall value and a unit of measurement (micro tesla) and suggests that for a 33kv the distance in metres for the field to fall value at 0-20 metres is 0.4 micro teslas. Some of the things I've read suggest 0.3 to 0.4 is associated with an increased risk of these health problems (particularly childhood leukaemia). The house is 18 metres away. The same table also suggests that for 10-40 metres it can be as low as 0.1 micro teslas though. There is a company I've found that say they can measure the actual level so I'm thinking of getting them to do this for peace of mind. I'm just very confused unfortunately.
