    My wife has falen in love with a house which is about 50 meters from a large electrical substation which you can see here[^] I'm finding it difficult to find any reliable information about the possible health effects of living so close to such a thing. Does anyone here have any opinion? Update I just found this[^]. Basically, Energy Australia are planning to start rebuilding this substation this month and expect the works to take several years. Explains why the house is so cheap, I think we'll keep looking

      The reason there is no reliable information to be found, is because all studies have been inconclusive or contradict other studies. Just like the ones for mobile phone impact. I would say, if you like the house, go for it.:thumbsup:

        I can't help you, except with a double suggestion: meet some of the people that have lived their life there; and go see a local GP. :)

              Personally, I wouldnt.. Would you want your (Future?) Kids/Pets being able to possibly go into the substation? The noise would drive me nuts if its anything like the ones in this country which make a low humming sound...

                      I do not know about the health, but what if there is a major fire or blast? The noise and the kids/pets factor others mention are important too.

                            My father never would've let me move to a place near that. He worked for the EPA so I'll take his word. Another anecdotal story note. My girlfriend in high school lived under / next to high power lines. Her sister developed bone cancer in her leg at age 11 and lost her leg up to the thigh. She's in her 20's now and in remission.

                                    It's probably less painful than a vasectomy. :~

                                      In about a month from now I will have produced three kids in just over two years. The snip is one of my plans for this year :)
