Why You Should Think Twice About Power Lines Near Your Home

Is Living Near Power Lines A Good Idea For Your New Home Purchase?
The decision to buy a house near power lines is a personal one that depends on your individual circumstances and priorities. However, you should consider a few things before making a decision.
One concern is the potential health risks associated with living near power lines. Some studies have suggested that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from power lines may increase the risk of specific health problems, such as childhood leukemia and other cancers. However, other studies have found no clear evidence of a link between EMF exposure and these health risks.
Another concern is the potential impact on property values. Some people may be hesitant to buy a home near power lines, which could make it more challenging to sell the property in the future. On the other hand, others may not be bothered by the presence of power lines and may be willing to buy the property at a lower price.
In general, it's a good idea to research the potential health risks of living near power lines and the impact on property values in your area. You may also want to consider the visual effect of the power lines and whether they will detract from your enjoyment of the property. Ultimately, the decision to buy a house near power lines should be based on your individual priorities and preferences.

The EMF from power lines will vary depending upon the time of day and season. Hot days when AC is running, and around dinner time when everyone is using their stoves to cook etc., the EMFs will go up substantially. The magnetic fields are linked to certain cancers. It's not worth the risk, in my opinion.

Interesting video. We looked at a home in Fox Hollow that had views of those adjacent power lines that you're walking under and passed on it. Thankfully, after hearing this.

In my personal experience the power lines and cell phone towers disrupt my sleep. And poor sleep can lead to health problems. But likely some people are not effected as much as me. Avoid if possible, but do not freak out if you are in this situation. Also FYI the numbers are much higher in the summer when electricity usage is max.

Wish you could have used your tester near the house rather than under the power lines

I did not want to go too close to the house because the homeowners were in the backyard, but I did go near the front of the house later in the day and still had a reading that was more than usual. Thanks for commenting.

The bio initiative report does a good job presenting the peer reviewed literature addressing the biological health effects of such fields. Would I move my family to a home close to such power lines? No. Jimmy, I appreciate this exploration.

Thank you I greatly appreciate your comments. I will be doing a follow up video on powerlines and hopefully bring out expert in the field.

What is the name of the machine and brand that I need to buy on Amazon?

[@exploringwithjimmyb]

I bought on Amazon. It was like 20 bucks but it was a while ago. I’ll see if I can try to find it.
