Say 500-1000m from the high tension power cable and telco tower but the location is very good 5km from lifestyle mall and 2km from traditional market and many ammenities there very easy to go mamak and food court.It also have facilities like jogging track and swimming pool. Moreover, the price of house is considered cheap. Will you consider to buy? It's about 15-20 high tension power cable towers and 3 telco towers around there.

At 100 meter distance, the radiation from your computer, tv, even fridge is, mobile phone is much higher.

500 meter considered real far these days.

The prob is high tension power tower is 50kV while your computer, tv, mobile phone only 5V.

I personally very doubt anything that is run under gomen ... when building piling commence, you will truly find out if the tower construction is under good foundation. The entire tower may just decide to come down. Maybe substandard steel was used or insufficient rust protection was apply. Our government really don't have good track record when it come to structure.

Its not really the distance or health issue, one tower decide to comedown is really no small shit.

Did you hear about the LRT pillar crushing a car recently ... imagine that tower crushing your house now.  nod.gif

what will happen if the cable tower come down? will it burn the house?

not within 1KM, but if you really like the place, please ensure the nearest tower is not built on higher ground than your home and not at the right hand side
*
It is the higher ground than the house and at the right, left, south , and north hand side.so many towers bro but it is 500m away
Why?

EM attenuate by distance.. and by the time it reach you, its already lower by few hundred to few thousand times.
you phone is beside you, its zero distance...

Most of time my phone is in deep sleep.so maybe only 5 hrs active phone compared with telco or htc tower which operating 24*7.

Actually it's true, eiffel tower is quite ugly ! Only at night when the tower is lighted up, it looks nice.

In the day time you go climb it, it's just steel structure.

So htc should build the blink blink stars around so become very beautiful scenery at night lor

Who studied in RMIT should hear this news.

TLDR, summary: 7 people sufferred brain cancer after living at RMIT building which has HTC.


The brain tumor cluster at Australia's RMIT University is Topic A for EMF watchers around the world. It all began on Thursday when Australian TV news reported that the university had launched an investigation into seven cases of brain tumors among staff members in a 17-storey building on its Melbourne campus. Five of those who developed tumors worked on the top floor of the building (two others were on the 11th and 14th floors), and six of the seven had been there for more than a decade, according to the Australian, a national newspaper. Five of the cases were uncovered in the last month, while two others were reported in 1999 and 2001, Melbourne's The Age reported.

Initially, most of the attention was focused on the mobile phone antennas on the roof of the high-rise. But others point to power-frequency and other types of EMFs as a possible cause. For instance, Don Maisch, a doctoral student at Wollongong University and an EMF activist based in Tasmania, wants to make sure the fields from electrical and electronic equipment housed on top of the building are properly measured. People working on the top floor "are very likely getting a good dose of ELF 'dirty electricity' with high voltage transients, harmonics, and RF all riding on the 50 Hz power supply" he wrote on his Blog. Others are not yet ready to discount the cell tower antennas. They challenge the idea that all the radiation is being beamed out towards the horizon; they point to possible sidelobes and reflections: "The floor below is definitely not a safe place!" commented Jean-Pierre Lentin, a French journalist and author of Ces Ondes Qui Tuent, Ces Ondes Qui Soignent (Waves that Kill, Waves that Heal).

The RMIT cluster is by no means the first brain tumor cluster that has been linked to EMFs, and most of the efforts to find theirs causes have been perfunctory at best. Take, for example, the cluster of 12 cancer cases, including five brain tumors, that was identified at a Congressional office building in Washington in the early 1990s. Even though the director of the Congressional Budget Office himself requested an investigation, the health hazard evaluation performed by NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, was a sham. "No good came out of the report," said one of those who worked in the building at the time. (More details on this and other clusters are available in our M/A93 issue.)

Today, a number of experts quoted in the press are already saying that the causes of the brain tumors will probably not be identified. "To be quite frank, I think it's an unfortunate coincidence," Prof. Michael Abramson of Melbourne's Monash University told the Australian. Abramson is a director of the Australian Centre of RF Bioeffects Research). Mark Elwood, the head of the National Cancer Control Initiative made a similar argument to The Age. Elwood has been a consultant to both the electric utility and the telecom industries in the past.

Whether the promised investigation will uncover anything will depend on those who carry it out. (Interestingly, the head of RMIT's school of engineering, Professor Irena Cosic, is also a director of the Australian RF research center.) Will it be another whitewash or will the Australians rise to the occasion and do a careful and detailed investigation? We'll let you know.
