I purchased a very good little book the other day entitled "Establishing a Dialogue on Risks from Electromagnetic Fields" published through TSO by the World Health Organisation.

There is a website you can have a look at with regard to these fields at

Stephen,
I have some personal experience of this. My property boundary is about 10 metres from a substation. After moving in I was concerned about noise rather than em radiation. I rang my power company(Yorkshire Electricity) who within 2-3 days ! sent a team of two with noise and radiation monitoring instruments. There was no charge for their services. Whether I struck lucky with some project they were running I don't know.

Beyond 2 metres from the substation itself the radiation is effectively zero, at least in my case. YE knew that already and the only purpose of coming was to demonstrate that exposure to em radiation in the house from wiring, digital displays etc outweighed any from the substation by hundreds of times. The noise problem was solved the next year when the substation was replaced with a completely silent version.

I have an open mind about the health effects of this radiation and I am not an expert in this area. All I can say is that in my case measurement did not show anything above background levels.
