Hello
Please give me some advice on a lot my wife and 2 kids are thinking on building our home on in SC. It will be located next to a large power line right of way. Its near a lake so we have those big metal towers. I'd say the nearest tower from my house will be like 50 to 75 yards. I took a emf meter over to my future lot and got no reading where the home will be or around the yard. Of course when I walked up under the lines it started reading harmful. The device I measured it with measures electric field radiation and magnetic field emission. The electric field radiation part on the meter was going off and reading harmful. Is it? Please tell me the difference between electrical field and the Emfs.
I assume the electric field is going off cause we are near the lines is all.

As Im sure you know you can read all kind of various opinions on Emfs on the internet. I am getting no reading so I assume Im good.
We are so confused on this subject and don't want to harm ours or kids bodies over the years. We just need to set our minds at ease so we can enjoy this new house.
Thank you.

There are literally thousand of communities across the country with power transmission lines running through them, and the chances of it doing harm to humans is virtually NIL as far as I know. However you can take your readings to your local environmental authority, and inquire with them or the power company.

Just consider it for real estate value. It will normally lower the cost of the property.
