i am worry about Health effects caused by the electromagnetic field (EMF) and concerning about ACI-code in my case i have two towers far from my building about 88 to 100 meter and the wire connected between them far from the building about 30 m , also i think the distance is function in the voltage and i think the electrical system is 400 kv
Thank you

Anecdotally, I have lived under 250kV power lines for 18 years now and raised two children here for much of their lives with no ill effects on any of us. Many of my neighbors have lived here since the housing development was built in 1970, nobody has reported any effects whatsoever. Yet, whenever a house goes up for sale in this neighborhood, the realtors make the rounds wanting to know who around here got cancer, who suffers from psychological disorders etc etc. They almost seem disappointed in our answers, because I think they are looking for reasons to de-value the properties and sell them faster. So far, they have been out of luck.

Why did you not look at the transmission line before you bought your house?
If you would feel better, most utilities will bury the line if you are willing to pay for the cost.

I agree with jraef. In Greece there were many fights with puplic power corporation for the same reason. Nobody wants a transmission line near his house. Now there is a rule of thumb "Don't buy a house if there is a transmission line in a distance of 50m".

Have you seen the extra large backyard, where the home builder dos not build a fence. Power line, or gas line.
Have you seen the stockade fence at the back of a back yard to hide a open storm drain that the buyer dos not know he is buying.

If instead you consider the international (ICNIRP) limit of 200 uT, the distance from line axis is almost zero.
