The magnetic fields can be detected to within 300 meters of a high-voltage power line, scientists don't fully understand how the brain works, but we do know that it has electrical properties, so does it take a rocket scientist to consider that high power magnetic fields might not be good for living creatures!

When towers fall, they crumble, not swing. Granted a line could probably catch, but they are not designed to fail by swinging. Usually the right of way is about 50ft, so I agree with 300 ft away, but you should probably just find another place to live.

Outside the swing radius of the towers, should they ever happen to fall. Other than that, there is no scientific evidence that the EM radiation from high tension lines poses a health threat.

I would say a minimum of the distance between two towers. If a wire broke in a severe windstorm, it couldn't reach any farther than that.

It depends on the dielectric strength of air...
