Power Knowledge | The Substation Near Your Home Will Not Have a Negative Impact on Residents' Health, and There Is No Need to Move!

Recently, some rumors have been widely spread on social media and the Internet, claiming that the substation near one's home is dangerous and may have a negative impact on the health of the surrounding residents, so people need to move. This statement has caused widespread panic and unease in society. However, according to professional scientific research and data, this statement is completely wrong. In this article, we will explain and illustrate from multiple perspectives why the substation near your home is not dangerous and why residents don't need to worry.

Firstly, the alternating current frequency of the substation is 50 hertz, which belongs to an extremely low frequency in the field of electromagnetic radiation. Its radiation range is very small and is far below the limit values set by the World Health Organization. This means that the amount of electromagnetic radiation generated by the substation is very weak, and its impact on human health is minimal. Compared with the radiation generated by many electrical appliances in our daily life, it is negligible. In fact, in our daily life, many household appliances also generate electromagnetic radiation, including televisions, computers, mobile phones, etc. The radiation generated by these appliances is even higher than that of the substation. Therefore, we don't need to worry that the substation near our home will harm our bodies.

Secondly, the substation has a certain coverage area, that is, the power supply radius. If it exceeds the power supply radius, effective power supply cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, urban substations cannot be randomly located far away from residential areas. The location and layout of the substation are determined by professional power planners based on various factors, including municipal planning, power consumption load, power supply reliability, etc. Therefore, the substation is usually located on the edge of the city or in places with convenient transportation to ensure the quality and reliability of power supply. At the same time, the government and power companies will conduct strict management and supervision of the substation to ensure its safe and stable operation. In fact, the electromagnetic radiation level of the substation is equivalent to that of the surrounding environment, so its impact on the surrounding environment is negligible.

Furthermore, if the substation really had an impact on human health, then the substation staff would face a higher health risk. However, after years of research and observation, scientists have not found any abnormal health conditions among the substation staff, which proves that the impact of the substation on health is negligible. In addition, there is no international evidence to prove that low-frequency electromagnetic fields will cause harm to human health. Therefore, residents don't need to worry at all about the impact on their physical health of living near the substation.

Finally, we need to point out that such rumors and panic emotions not only have no scientific basis but also cause unnecessary social panic and distress. We should believe in science, trust the judgment and decisions of professionals, and maintain rationality and calmness to correct misinformation, and not believe or spread rumors. If you have any doubts or concerns about the safety and radiation issues of the substation, you can consult the local government or power company and listen to the opinions and suggestions of professionals.

Here, we emphasize again: The substation near your home will not have a negative impact on the health of residents, nor will it have any impact on the daily life of residents. Electricity is one of the infrastructure of modern society, and the substation is an important facility to ensure the stable supply of electricity. We should respect science, respect professionals, and have firm confidence.
