Is Living Near Underground Power Lines Making Me Sick?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the health concerns associated with living near a 3-phase underground power line, specifically symptoms experienced while working in a shed above it. The individual reports feelings of nausea, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and stress, which they attribute to the power line located 1.2 meters below ground. Despite these symptoms, it is noted that the belief linking power lines to cancer is unfounded and based on misinterpretation of studies. The conversation emphasizes the importance of consulting a doctor for health issues rather than jumping to conclusions about environmental factors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and their potential health effects
  • Knowledge of 3-phase power systems and their configurations
  • Familiarity with common health symptoms related to environmental factors
  • Awareness of the historical context of power line health studies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) exposure
  • Investigate the safety standards for underground power lines
  • Learn about the symptoms associated with environmental stressors
  • Explore the scientific literature on power lines and cancer risk
USEFUL FOR

Individuals experiencing unexplained health symptoms near power lines, environmental health researchers, and anyone interested in the impact of electromagnetic fields on human health.

I have a property with a 3 phase underground power line. The power line doesn't go near the house but happens to pass directly underneath the shed, which is in the form of a sea container. Whenever I'm working inside the container, I feel sick. The symptoms are similar to those described by people living under high voltage power lines - nausea, dizziness, fatigue
headaches and stress. These symptoms seem to occur most during the day, I just don't feel right. My belief is that the 3 phase power line located 1.2 meters below the ground has something to do with it.

If you aren't feeling well, I suggest that you see a doctor, we can not diagnose you.
 
...but fyi, the "power lines cause cancer" thing was a hoax from the start. A reporter twisted one vague study into a career of fearmongering.
