In the 60s of the XX century it was discovered dangerous effects of electromagnetic fields from power lines on the human body.

The health status of people who come into close contact with power lines in production conditions or who live nearby is approximately the same. People complain of increased fatigue, irritability, memory impairment, sleep disturbances, depression, migraine, disorientation in space, muscle weakness, problems with the cardiovascular system, hypotension, visual impairment, atrophy of color perception, decreased immunity, potency, changes in blood composition. This list can be continued with a number of physiological disorders and various diseases.

It has been proven that people living near power lines experience oncological diseases, serious reproductive dysfunction, as well as the so-called electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome. It is quite scary to hear reports of research by some foreign scientists on the influence high voltage lines power transmission on children's health. It was found that children living at a distance of up to 150 meters from power lines and substations are twice as likely to suffer from leukemia, and almost all of them have disorders nervous system.

In some countries there is such a medical term as electromagnetic allergy. People suffering from it have the opportunity to change their place of residence for free to another, located as far as possible from sources of electromagnetic radiation. All this is officially sponsored by the government! How can the energy sector comment on the possible danger posed by power lines? First of all, they insist that the voltage of the electric current in power lines can be different, and therefore it is necessary to distinguish between safe and dangerous voltage. The range of influence of the magnetic field created by power lines is directly proportional to the power of the line itself. A professional determines the voltage class of a power line by the number of wires in a bundle not on the support itself:

– 2 wires – 330 kV;

– 3 wires – 500 kV;

- 4 wires - 750 kV.

The lower voltage class of power transmission lines is determined by the number of insulators:
— 3-5 insulators – 35 kV;

— 6-8 insulators – 110 kV;

- 15 insulators - 220 kV.

In order to protect the population from harmful effects power lines, there are special standards that define a certain sanitary zone, conditionally starting from the outermost power line wire projected onto the ground:

— Voltage less than 20 kV – 10 m;

— Voltage less than 35 kV – 15 m;

— Voltage less than 110 kV – 20 m;

— Voltage less than 150-220 kV – 25 m;

— Voltage less than 330 – 500 kV – 30 m;

— Voltage less than 750 kV – 40 m.

These standards apply to Moscow and the Moscow region, and in accordance with them, plots for development are allocated. These standards do not take into account the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation, which is sometimes tens and sometimes hundreds of times greater more dangerous to health!

To prevent the magnetic field from affecting health status, multiply each of the listed indicators by 10. It turns out that a low-power power line is harmless only at a distance of 100 meters! Power line wires contain voltage that is in maximum contact with the corona discharge threshold. In bad weather conditions, this discharge releases a cloud of oppositely charged ions into the atmosphere. Electric field, created by them, even at a great distance from power lines, can be much greater than the permissible harmless values.

A new project of the Moscow government to move some sections of high-voltage power lines underground. The mayor's office plans to use the vacated area for construction. This is where a logical question arises - will underground power lines be safe for people living above them? Will developers call energy specialists to the area planned for housing construction? Electromagnetic radiation from underground power lines and its impact on the human body, unfortunately, is still poorly understood.

The first to go underground will be the power lines located in the areas of Leninsky Prospect, Mira Avenue and Shchelkovskoe Highway. Next, it is planned to remove the power lines of the North-Eastern Administrative District underground, namely in Northern and Southern Medvedkovo, as well as in Bibirevo and Altufyevo. These territories are already put up for sale and are waiting for their investors. In total, there are more than a hundred power lines and electrical substations in the capital open type. Potential developers of land from power lines, and along with them the Moscow government, claim that modern technologies will completely isolate electromagnetic radiation. For this purpose, it is planned to use coaxial cables laid in special shielding collectors.

Moving power lines underground is an expensive procedure (approximately 1 million euros per 1 km of cable laid), and therefore there is no guarantee that developers will not “save money”. Consequently, there is no certainty that housing built above power lines will be safe in all respects.

The most correct decision is to buy a home located in a safe zone - where there is no harm to health! ♌

We're catching Goldfish in the Internet

The dangerous effects of electromagnetic fields from power lines on the human body were first discovered in the 60s of the last century. After careful research into the health status of people who come into close contact with power lines in industrial settings, scientists have discovered alarming facts. Almost all of the examined individuals complained of increased fatigue, irritability, memory and sleep disturbances.

To all of the above symptoms that occur in a person after frequent contact with electromagnetic waves of industrial frequency, one can safely add depression, migraine, disorientation in space, muscle weakness, problems with the cardiovascular system, hypotension, visual impairment, atrophy of color perception, decreased immunity, potency, changes in blood composition, etc. and so on. The list can be continued with a number of physiological disorders and all kinds of diseases.

Very often, people living near power lines experience cancer, serious reproductive dysfunction, as well as the so-called electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome. It is quite scary to hear reports of research by some foreign scientists on the impact of high-voltage power lines on the health of our children. For example, Swedish and Danish researchers discovered that children living at a distance of up to 150 meters from power lines, substations and subways (!) are twice as likely to suffer from leukemia, and almost all of them have nervous system disorders.

In some countries there is such a medical term as electromagnetic allergy. People suffering from it have the opportunity to change their place of residence to another, located as far as possible from sources of electromagnetic radiation. Moreover, all this is officially sponsored by the government! How can the energy sector comment on the possible danger posed by power lines? First of all, they insist that the voltage of the electric current in power lines can be different, and therefore it is necessary to distinguish between safe and dangerous voltage. The range of influence of the magnetic field created by power lines is directly proportional to the power of the line itself. A professional can determine the voltage class of power lines offhand. You too can have this knowledge. Everything is quite simple - you need to pay attention to the number of wires in the bundle (not on the support itself). So: 2 wires - 330 kV 3 wires - 500 kV 4 wires - 750 kV The lower voltage class of the power line is determined by the number of insulators: 3-5 insulators - 35 kV 6-8 insulators - 110 kV 15 insulators - 220 kV.

In order to protect the population from the harmful effects of power lines, there are special standards that define a certain sanitary zone, conditionally starting from the outermost power line wire projected onto the ground.

For some reason, the above standards apply specifically to Moscow and the Moscow region. Naturally, in accordance with them, plots for development are also allocated. The most interesting thing is that these standards do not take into account the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation, which is sometimes tens and sometimes hundreds of times more dangerous to health!

And now ATTENTION! To prevent the magnetic field from affecting your health, multiply each of the listed indicators by 10... It turns out that the lowest-power power line is harmless only at a distance of 100 meters! Power line wires contain voltage that is in maximum contact with the corona discharge threshold. In bad weather conditions, this discharge releases a cloud of oppositely charged ions into the atmosphere. The electric field created by them, even at a great distance from power lines, can be much greater than the permissible harmless values.

Just recently received the green light new project Moscow government on moving some sections of high-voltage power lines underground. The mayor's office plans to use the vacated area for construction. This is where a logical question arises - will underground power lines be safe for people living above them? Will developers call energy specialists to the area planned for housing construction? Electromagnetic radiation from underground power lines and its impact on the human body, unfortunately, is still poorly understood...

These territories are already put up for sale and are waiting for their investors. In total, there are more than a hundred power lines and open-type electrical substations in the capital. Potential developers of “power line” lands, and along with them the Moscow government, claim that modern technologies will make it possible to completely isolate electromagnetic radiation. For this purpose, it is planned to use coaxial cables laid in special shielding collectors.

Unfortunately, moving power lines underground is an expensive procedure (costing approximately 1 million euros per 1 km of cable laid), and therefore there is no guarantee that developers will not “save money”. So no one knows whether housing built above power lines will be safe in all respects. Remember, if your house is located very close to power lines (permissible sanitary standards see above), the most the right decision After all, it will be possible to buy a new home located in a safer zone!

In today's article we will try to answer a very important question: (power line)? Indeed, many people are concerned about such a problem as closely located high-voltage power lines, and in some cases, power line supports and the wires themselves can hang over their heads.

How power lines affect human health

Surely you have ever had to pass under a power line route, between high supports that firmly hold mighty wires, and most likely you have heard the characteristic crackling sound that accompanies the operation of equipment that transmits electricity to long distance. And it was at this moment that a sensation of electricity came, a certain tingling sensation in the back of the head, as if the hair began to move on the head. Believe me, these sensations, albeit with some degree of imaginaryness, still have a specific physical effect, and even have a name familiar from school - electromagnetic radiation.

A little about the dangers of magnetism

Research conducted both abroad and in our country has proven that the magnetic field generated by power lines, due to the increased magnetic component, causes specific and proven harm to people living near them. This is about:

• increased risk of blood disease (leukemia);
• brain tumor formations;
• an increase in the percentage of cases of sexual dysfunction (in men);
• pregnancy disorders in women;
• increased risks of heart attacks and strokes;
• and etc.

How to protect yourself from the electromagnetic effects of power lines

So, How dangerous is it to live under power lines?? Unfortunately, we have to admit the fact that earlier, in Soviet times, during the construction of the residential sector, the harmful effects of magnetic radiation on humans were not taken into account; only the electrical components of the created field were calculated. But, as we see, in vain. However, not everything is as scary as it might seem, and we hasten to reassure you that only powerful power lines, which for the most part pass beyond the borders of residential areas, can have a lasting and harmful impact. If next to yours country house a weak power transmission line passes through with a line from 6 to 10 kW, and even if it’s up to 35 kW, then you don’t even have to worry about it. But if you choose a house, and 500 meters from it there is a gigantic power line mast, then be wise and don’t play with your health, buy better house in a safer place, this way you will also avoid the accidental fall of a support on your property.

In the 60s, specialists in Russia paid attention to the electromagnetic fields of power lines (PTLs). After long-term and in-depth studies of the health of people who have contact with power lines at work, the results of these studies showed that people who spent a long time in the electromagnetic field more often complained of weakness, irritability, fatigue, weakened memory and sleep disturbances.

Currently, there are many problems associated with long-term exposure to power lines on the nervous system, cardiovascular, immune and reproductive systems.

Power line(power lines) - one of the components electrical network, a system of power equipment designed to transmit electrical energy through electrical current.

The wires of a working power line create electrical and magnetic field industrial frequency. The distance over which these fields extend from the line wires reaches tens of meters.

Within the sanitary protection zone of power lines it is prohibited:

place residential and public buildings and structures;

arrange parking areas for all types of transport;

locate automobile servicing enterprises and oil and petroleum products warehouses;

carry out operations with fuel, repair machines and mechanisms.

And now what happens in reality:

One of the most powerful pathogens electromagnetic waves- industrial frequency currents (50 Hz). Yes, tension electric field directly under the power line can reach several thousand volts per meter soil, although due to the property of reducing soil tension, even when moving 100 m from the line, the tension sharply drops to several tens of volts per meter.

Research biological effects electric field discovered that already at a voltage of 1 kV/m it has adverse influence on the human nervous system, which in turn leads to disruption of the endocrine system and metabolism in the body (copper, zinc, iron and cobalt), disrupts physiological functions: heart rate, blood pressure, brain activity, metabolic processes and immune activity.

As for electricians and other power line workers, the situation is even worse.

Power line personnel experienced visual impairment, changes in color perception, narrowing of visual fields in green, red, and especially blue color, vascular changes in the retina. Studies have been conducted of professionals working 8 hours a day in contact with AMY. Some reported decreased sex drive, a tendency toward depression, and irritability. There was a decreased number of lymphocytes in the blood.

Look what happens to the biofield of a person living near power lines:

Human biofield– this is its electromagnetic field, that is, the totality of radiation from every cell of our body. In fact, any object on Earth, any living organism, has it.

Our electromagnetic field was formed under the influence of the Earth's electromagnetic field. And since today’s electromagnetic background is tens of thousands of times higher than natural, our field cannot withstand such an onslaught.

If our electromagnetic field begins to be affected by other sources of radiation, much more powerful than the radiation of our body, then chaos begins in the body. This leads to a dramatic deterioration in health.

From an energetic point of view, the biofield performs a protective function. It is also called aura. In fact, this is the first protective barrier.

Data:

One of the largest studies of this issue took place in England and Wales from 1962 to 1995.

Medical records of more than 29 thousand children under 15 years of age were reviewed

It turned out that the risk of leukemia in children who lived from birth at a distance of up to 200 meters from power lines is 70%, and from 200 to 600 m – 20%.

Statistics have shown that power lines have a significant negative impact.

"Our study shows that approximately 5 in 400 cases of childhood leukemia can be associated with high-volume lineages, representing about 1% of cases," said Gerald Draper, leader of the research team at the University of Oxford.

The works of Anisimov V.N. provide facts from Swedish scientists:

They analyzed information about the incidence of cancer among people living in close proximity to high-voltage power lines (at a distance less than 300 m).

In a group of 400 thousand. man was discovered 142 children With various types malignant neoplasms and 548 adults with a brain tumor or leukemia.

An examination was also carried out to determine the reproductive function of 542 workers substations Power lines. This analysis allowed us to identify pathologies such as:
1) an increase in the number of congenital deformities if the father worked at a power plant;
2) decreased fertilization function among some male workers
3) The birth rate of boys has decreased.

Was also examined group of youth under 18 years old, living within 150 m from substations, transformers, subways, power lines railways and power lines. They were twice as likely to have nervous system disorders and leukemia.

In Denmark, 1,707 children under 16 years of age were examined during the period. Due to living near power lines, some developed brain tumors and leukemia.

Protection from electromagnetic fields of power lines:

So what should we do??

We understand that if a power line is built near your house, you cannot move it. And not everyone can afford to move today.

And even if you don’t live near power lines, then, believe me, they make a very good contribution to the overall electromagnetic background of the city in which you live.

Already exists today reliable protection from electromagnetic fields and their torsion component.

This must be done because the situation concerns your health and the health of your entire family. Especially if you are young and just planning it, or you have small children.
