Electromagnetic radiation from high voltage power lines is something that can affect the health of people in urban and rural communities Strong artificial EMFs that radiate from power lines can scramble and interfere with your body s natural EMF affecting everything from your sleep cycles and stress levels to your immune response and DNA
Without these high voltage lines the landscape would be cluttered with towers One 735 kV line is equal to four 315 kV lines the next voltage level down In fact Hydro Québec is a pioneer in high voltage power transmission it developed the world s first commercial 735 kV line as well as the earliest equipment designed for that voltage
