Effects of living near high voltage transmission lines on health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild if anything: After extensive testing, most scientists believe the low-level electromagnetic fields near power lines are safe. Others continue research to look for possible health risks associated with these fields. If there are any risks such as cancer associated with living near power lines, then it is clear that those risks are small.
