Depends on the voltage of the tower.
You really can't calculate this. You need to actually measure the field with a meter. Power companies will generally do that for a specific house near a power line. I'm sure there are some consultants who do that, too.
Excellent source for information is here (7 pages):

Here's the page on standards.

They're not in distance; they're in "electric field" in volts/meter. Which is what is measured by a meter.

I would say the distance equal to the spaces between the towers. There is no danger from eleactric fields but if a wire breaks and there is a violent wind, I would want to be far enough away so the wire couldn't land on my house or in my yard.

Radiation hazards, but safety from lightning.

10 feet should do it.
