Dear Suzanne,Magnetic fields near substations are often high near the big transmission
lines that bring power in and the primary lines that take power out (often in underground
lines). In other locations around the substation perimeter, EMF are not generally higher
than what is seen in the average office. You are certainly right to ask for information on
the magnetic fields expected at your office from the substation and its power lines. You
can also ask the utility to follow the recommendation in the report by the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIESH) that says: "NIEHS suggests that the
power industry continue its practice of siting power lines to reduce exposures" (Health
Effects from Exposure to Power-line Frequency EMF, p. 38. This document is available at
http://www.niehs.nih.gov/emfrapid/home.htm).

I believe you have a BIG problem...... I certainly do not believe you should
stay and conceive a child where you are now working..... There is too much you
need to know for me to cover it in this one message..... It appears that you
have found my website. You can learn much there. You should invest some
time into reading what is there -- first, in the "current messages" and "power
line"
files...
I am also sending this message to our EMF-L full list. There are many on this
list
who can give you the benefit of their experience. You are likely to hear from
them.
Cheerio......

Roy: You may consider my question quite dense and maybe it has already been
covered on your website, but I cannot seem to find a clear answer. The City of
Austin, Texas is discussing the construction of an electric substation about 20
feet from my workplace. Most of the information I have seen concerns power lines
and cell phones. Does a substation emit EMF? Can you provide information to help
me in an argument against the placement of this substation. Everyone I've spoken
with here thinks that I'm a "kook" when I express my apprehension about spending
so much of my time in proximity to a substation. In addition, my husband and I
are planning to start a family and I am terrified about the potential impact on
an unborn child. Please help.Suzanne
