A lot of studies and researches have been made on the people living near power stations. Electricity is generated in power stations and is transmitted throughout the country via substations located near populated areas. It is must for installers to have substations around lived in areas in order to distribute electricity. However, these power substations are causing major health risks to human body.
Let’s learn about Electric Substation first:
A substation is used by experts to step down the high voltage for commercial and domestic use. The objective of these substations is to provide electricity to a populated area. A typical substation has three basic parts-
- Transformer
- Power lines
- Switches and relays
Power lines are the major source of electrical transmission to the urban area. To reduce the power loses, electricity is transported at high voltage levels and minimum current levels.
Such high voltage lines transfer radiations called electromagnetic field or EMF. It is always associated with the current that passes through a conductor. EMF has magnetic and electric field component oscillating at 180 degrees. There is 90 degrees phase difference between the electric and magnetic field.
In the reports, it has found that longer exposure to magnetic field lead to cancer in human body. People can use a device known as Gauss meter to measure the EMF intensity.
How EMF affects the human body?
EMF has both magnetic and electric field that traverses the air and begins oscillating cells of human body at high frequency and lead to heat up. Higher range of electromagnetic field has power to damage your body cells. More damaged cells and increasing damages result in cancer forming cells. This is how EMF causes cancer.
Thus, exporters of dry type transformer suggest people to live away from substations as they transmit heavy electromagnetic fields. You should even stay alert and never get a home nearby the digital towers. You should also limit the use of Wi-Fi and other electrical gadgets as these are the sources of electromagnetic field.
