What is the safe distance to build these towers away from the transmission lines? Is there a rule of thumb for distance. Bear in mind that the condos will be at the same height as the condo apartments.

Being that close to a master bedroom isn’t ideal. The only way to determine if it’s an issue is to get a meter like the Trifield TF2 and measure the magnetic fields (measured in mG).

My friend is looking to buy a home which has a wooden pole about 36 feet from the master bedroom, do you think it will be an issue?

Hi Marie,

It depends on what type of power line it is. Any home with electricity (without solar) will have a power line nearby, but is it a high-voltage line (usually a lattice tower or steel tube) or your typical neighborhood line on a wooden pole?

Oh Christy, bless your heart. I can’t even imagine.

I lived next to an electrical substation from ages 1 mo to 3 years. I am now 70 but I have had 7 different cancers. Noone else in my family has had cancer.
Regards Christy
