If you're moving or building a new home, there are some items in the street you might want to think about before signing anything

1. ... Some electromagnetic field generators and a
few other items you might want to think about
when choosing your next home.

2. Can EMFs hurt you?
This question is still
being researched.
However, until there’s
conclusive proof that
they won’t harm you
or your family, I
recommend the
precautionary
approach.

3. So... What am I looking
for?
Electromagnetic fields
(EMF) or
electromagnetic
radiation (EMR) are
generated by
electricity (or power)
moving and
changing, like in a
transformer.

4. Precautionary Approach
Without measuring
the intensity of the
field, it’s impossible to
know whether it will
affect your health.
As a precaution, try to
avoid homes near
these types of
generating devices.

5. Precautionary Approach
You can see there’s a
fence around this
substation, and power
companies are
unlikely to place
these in close
proximity to
residences, but be
aware.

6. Precautionary Approach
You may think it unlikely to
have a large substation in a
residential area, but I have
seen one near an aged care
facility. (Not handshake
distance, but
still, I’d be
hesitant to put
my mum in
that facility)

7. Precautionary Approach
High voltage
transmission lines are
increasingly being seen
in areas close to
residences. There are
guidelines for how
close homes can be
built, but again, I’d be
reluctant to be too
close.

8. Precautionary Approach
You are far more likely
to see transmission
lines like this in
suburban areas. The
voltage load they
carry is lower, but they
still generate quite a
high EMF. In in doubt,
get your new house
checked before
signing.

9. Precautionary Approach
Mobile (cell) phone
towers are an
increasingly more
common feature in our
landscape. They
generate radio
frequency, and yes the
debate is still out, but
until they’re proven
safe, be cautious.

10. Power in your home
You are likely to have
an electricity meter on
your home. They, and
solar (or wind) inverters
also generate an EMF.
Try to keep beds at least
3 metres away from
these (even if there’s a
wall between)
