We?ve found the ideal flat to buy and have had our offer accepted, but have just found out that there is a small electrical substation at the end of the garden! I?ve tried to read up on the possible link between living near sources of electromagnetic radiation and childhood cancers but the evidence seems pretty inconclusive.
I?m still a bit concerned about living so close to a substation with a child (I?m currently pregnant and would hope to have another one while living at this property), but not sure what to do, given that the research in this area is so sketchy.
Does anyone know more about this subject? For instance, how much radiation is a small electrical substation likely to emit? The flat is on the first floor, and the substation is less than 50 foot away from the building?
What would you do?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
