What are the safety measures to be taken when we live near high tension tower? is there magnetic arc to affect

Question

Just 6meters below 440 volt tower. Will it affect our brain cells in due course.
what is the safe distance to be maintained.

Answer 1

The idea that power lines may be linked to cancer is one of TWENTY OF THE GREATEST BLUNDERS IN SCIENCE IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS. So says Judith Newman in the October 2000 issue of Discover magazine, which is published by the Disney Co. "Currents That Don’t Kill" is #9 on the list, which also includes Chernobyl, cold fusion and the Iridium project. Newman states that the Clinton administration “estimates that American taxpayers have paid $25 billion to determine that power lines don’t do anything more deadly than deliver power” (emphasis added). She explains that, "After several enormous epidemiological studies in Canada, Britain and the United States, the danger was completely discounted" (see p.1). Her source is Dr. Robert Park, the physicist-lobbyist, whom she quotes as saying that power frequency fields can’t be associated with cancer because they can’t break chemical bonds and, more generally, that the whole business is "preposterous".

Answer 2

Nah. Your appliances are more at risk than you are. The effects of EMF have been studied pretty thoroughly, and while there aren't many things you can do to guarantee your appliances will experience their full operating life, your brain cells are safe.

Many of the ways of safeguarding electronics against EMF involve things such as faraday cages and the like. But none have really shown any consistancy or predictability.

To make you feel safer: Nuclear warheads can actually be detonated in the atmosphere to produce greater EMF. This would kill every electronic device in a large radius, but leave you mostly unharmed even if you were directly underneath... unless of course some debris fell on you.

Answer 3

No additional measures are necessary. Think about it, people put magnetic bracelets on their wrists (resulting in roughly the same intensity field you are experiencing that far under a tower) believing it is GOOD for them!
