  • Is it dangerous to be near a power distribution box

    Is it dangerous to be near a power distribution box

    Based on current research there is no established scientific evidence to support that exposure to electric and magnetic fields found around the home, the office or near powerlines causes health effects. Electricity substations are an important part of our power infrastructure, but there are concerns around whether it's safe to live close to one. What is a substation? The most common substations close to homes are. Individuals with a heightened sensitivity to electromagnetic fields — or other serious health issues such as chronic fatigue, cancer or Lyme Disease — may want to reduce their exposures even further, perhaps down to the much stricter EMF Hypersensitivity Advisory Levels (see Note 3). How dangerous is it to live near a substation? Is this something you should be concerned about? By analyzing the cases of people living near. The primary function of a substation is to transform voltage, either stepping down the high voltage electricity from power plants for distribution to cities and towns, or stepping it up for long-distance transmission.
