If you come across an electromagnetic field with very high radiation can you get instant dna damage if you stay there for 5 min and is very close to the powerlines ?

Portions of the electromagnetic spectrum do have emissions that may pose a risk of cancer. The spectrum ranges from extremely low-frequency radiation, such as that generated by overhead power lines, to higher-frequency radiation, such as the energy emitted by X-rays and gamma rays. ref: https://www.cancercenter.com/community/blog/2023/02/power-lines-and-cancer-is-there-a-connection#
