Are there any health risks by living next to an electric power plant?

Answer 1

Many agree that there are some effects created by large power lines, but it is not clear whether these effects are adverse in the long run. Since the debate is ongoing, I would say that it is safe to assume for the time being that, though there may be a hazard involved, it is not so great as to capture the attention of those that would know.

Answer 2

I don't think any reputable medical research has indicated this, though various rumours have circulated over the years. The effects of high voltage transmission lines have been suggested but again there is no established professional medical conclusion on this, as far as I know

Answer 3

Much has been written about the adverse effects of the electric or magnetic fields around power lines. None of these effects have been proven. People making the complaints claim to have the effects even when the lines are not powered and the effect is suspect.However there are problems and hazards that are real:

• Kite flying near power lines can lead to electrocution.
  
• Taking off and flying aircraft, hot air balloons and ultralight aircraft near power lines can lead to electrocution
  
• Raising crane arms into power lines can lead to electrocution
  
• Some folks have climbed power towers, drunk beer and then urinated on the lines. This leads to a spectacular electrocution.
  

It is not safe to be living under or close to high voltage electric transmission lines

Answer 5

Living next to an electric power plant can potentially expose you to air and water pollution, which may increase the risk of respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and other health problems. However, the extent of the health risks can depend on the type of power plant, its emissions controls, and your proximity to it. It is advisable to stay informed about the plant's environmental impact and take necessary precautions to protect your health.
