Headaches, dizziness, nausea, irritability and a kind of constant stress that prevents you from resting – these can be problems for electrosensitive people who live near high-voltage power lines.
To avoid these complaints, you should avoid high-voltage power lines as far as possible when building your home.
Is radiation from high-voltage power lines dangerous for humans?
High-voltage power lines have a voltage of up to 380,000 volts.
Close to the ground, the electric field strength can be up to 5,000 V/m.
Even at a great distance of several hundred meters, electrical radiation can still be measured.
If you build your house under a high-voltage power line, you should be aware that you may be endangering your quality of life.
When building a house, you should therefore always check whether there is a high-voltage power line nearby.
However, caution is also required around railroad lines or transformer stations.
How high is the exposure to high-voltage power lines?
High-voltage lines normally have a voltage of 110 kV (kilovolts)220 kV and 380 kV.
While the electric fields are largely constant, the radiation of the magnetic fields depends on the grid utilization.
However, electric fields are also influenced by trees, buildings, weather and much more.
According to the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), there is no minimum distance between buildings and high-voltage power lines in Germany.
Nevertheless, there has been a ban on overvoltage in buildings and parts of buildings intended for permanent human habitation since 2013.
According to the current state of research, compliance with the limit values should apply to all proven health effects, even if residential buildings are only a short distance from the high-voltage line.
Many environmental physicians and building biologists disagree with this.
The limit values are said to be far too low and there are not enough studies on the effects of low-frequency radiation from power lines.
Although thermal effects on the human body have been investigated, the biological effects on the human body have often been ignored.
How far should the house be from the high-voltage line?
In general, both low-frequency radiation from power lines and high-frequency radiation from mobile phone networks, cell phones and the like are said to generate internal body currents.
Some experts suspect that muscle and nerve cells may be stimulated in such a way that a kind of permanent stress could arise.
Many building biologists and environmental physicians recommend a distance of one meter per kV from the high-voltage line.
For a 110 kV line, this would be a minimum distance of 110 meters, for 220 kV a distance of 220 meters and so on. However, this is only a basic rule.
For relevant statements to be made, measurements would have to be taken over a longer period of time.
However, keeping a safe distance from high-voltage power lines is still the most important measure to protect your own health and that of your family.
This should always be taken into account when building a house.
However, high-voltage power lines are often subsequently erected in the vicinity of existing settlements.
Objections from local residents are not always successful.
