Pola magnetyczne i elektrosmog z transformatorów oraz linii energetycznych – część 1

Hi Cheryl, thanks for asking.
With substations, lets agree that we are speaking about the medium scale above ground plants where wires from the transmission lines come in and from their distribute electricity around the area.
It depends on the levels that people are exposed to, so going out and measuring this properly is clearly a must. Levels can vary a lot during the day and night so if levels were just about ok at the time of a spot measurement, then it doesn’t mean it will be fine 10min, 2 hours or 12 hours later.
200ft is not very far at all. The problem is magnetic fields, and these are present at the station but also the cables going in and out of that substation. Current is supposed to return to the substation nicely along intended paths and cabling, but it there are wiring problems in the neighbourhood for example this can all affect the proper return of current and therefor cause an imbalance which would mean even more magnetic fields. As the substation is the root of distribution from there onwards it has the potential to produce a lot of exposure to magnetic fields.

What is bad? What is too much EMR?
We’ll that is all down to opinion. Governments have set their allowable exposure limits way too high in the opinion of many people and scientist in this field of environmental medicine. Many countries allow for 1000mG (milligauss) of exposure to the population and think that is fine and acceptable. Peer reviewed research shows serious increases in the risk of fertility issues, leukaemia, cancer and many other issues at levels only a fraction of the government limits. At 1mG serious affects to recovery rates of children with leukaemia were found for example (see our research link section). – So, you have to do your own research on what you think is acceptable and what risks you are willing to take. In our environmental medicine field, most recommend exposure ideally less than 0.2 or 0.3mG in the bedroom, and definitely not more than 1mG in the home. What someone does with that information is up to them. No EMF consultant would tell people to move if the problem can’t be fixed because it goes against what the government deems ok and opens up liability issues for the assessor… the residents have to come to the decision of staying or going on their own.

So, long and short of it is: Until you investigate with proper equipment (spend at least about U$400 on a good gauss meter) you know nothing. 200ft could be ok… but it could vary or change over time, so needs to be monitored,
I can tell you that magnetic fields, if caused by wiring errors have a chance of being rectified, but if they come from power supply installations, there is often nothing that can be done realistically.

That is not to say that other homes away from substations are therefor automatically ok. Most homes have multiple sources of exposure to low level radiation from outside power lines, internal wiring, phone towers, smart meters, wifi gadgets and natural geopathic stress. Any home considered to be purchased or rented should be checked by one of our consultants or someone we know that could help you. You should check for magnetic fields whilst ‘shopping’ for a new home with a quality guass meter, and once you think you’ve found the one, let a trained expert verify your findings and investigate the other typically fixable issues of the home. This way you know what to update before you move in.
