Effect of Electromagnetic Radiations Due to High Voltage Transmission Lines on Human Beings

Mayank Suman | Divyani Paliwal | R. S. Shekhawat

Abstract: In this paper to satisfy the increasing demand of electricity, the utilization of overhead High Voltage Transmission lines (HVTL) is used in full swing. The HVTL produces an electric and magnetic fields which combine gives electromagnetic radiations. The electromagnetic radiation so produced by the HVTL exerts various impacts on the human body. The long term exposure to the electromagnetic field [EMF] which is emitted by HVTL leads to tremendous possibility of the workers and the residents living in the vicinity of that area of HVTL to experience health related issues like fatigue, neuropsychological disorder such as depression and adverse anxiety issues, which could be extremely hazardous in the upcoming future due to the prolonged exposure without proper awareness. Due to the increase in supply demand and being neuroscience about the effects of HVTL the problems are becoming even more dangerous and this could result in serious & long term problems.
