I live near a transmission power line. How do I know if I am in danger?
a. When assessing danger, distance is all-important. The current research seems to suggest that living further than 400 feet from a transmission line will provide an adequate margin of safety from magnetic fields. However, the very latest research suggests that pregnant women should never venture anywhere near a transmission power line, for even momentary exposure to high magnetic fields sharply enhances the risk of a miscarriage. They should avoid even driving under a transmission power line.
Related QuestionsI feel nothing unusual when I am near a transmission power line. Why might they be dangerous?
a. Transmission power lines emit two types of fields, electric and magnetic. Together they are called electro-magnetic fields, EMF. Magnetic fields are known to interact with animal tissues, and are therefore potentially dangerous. While a tiny minority can sense magnetic fields, most of us can detect neither magnetic nor electric fields.

Related QuestionsWhat are transmission power lines?
a. They are those high voltage lines that carry power from power plants to substations or between substations. Generally, they carry voltage greater than 35 to 65 kV (kilovolts). Lines that carry power from substations to the ultimate users are called distribution lines. They generally use voltages under 35 kV. Transmission power lines radiate magnetic and electric fields that pulse sixty times per second. This is called extra-low frequency EMF (ELF-EMF).

City of Austin - Pandemic Influenza PlanningThis does not present a risk. At the present time, the H5N1 strain of bird flu that has spread through poultry farms in southeast Asia and into eastern Europe is not present in the U.S. Even if the H5N1 strain were to appear in the U.S., transmission from birds to people would require close contact with birds, such as handling, butchering or exposure to bird droppings.

Related QuestionsHow can I determine if a line is a transmission or distribution line?
a. One rule of thumb is to count the number of mushroom shaped insulators between the line and the structure that holds the line. If there are more than three such insulators, it is likely to be a transmission line. If there are around 7-12 insulators, the line probably carries 115 kV. Twelve or more suggests the line carries more than 300 kV.

Related QuestionsHow much power can each of your transmission builds handle?
DSM Transmission rebuildsThere are no guarantees about how much power you can put through any of our transmissions. For AWD DSM's: As a general rule of thumb, the economy build is for stock vehicles only. With any significant engine modifications, the value build should be considered the bare minimum because of the 4-spider center differential. The value is typically used on cars with up to 450 HP, and anything more than that should have the premium.
