What are the differences between transmission and distribution lines?

Gary Ginsberg (Toxicologist) gives expert video advice on: What does 'EMF' mean?; What are the hazards associated with exposure to EMF?; Should I have my house tested for EMF? and more...

The kind of para lines that we are concerned about with magnetic fields are the high voltage transmission lines that are bringing power into a whole neighborhood. And so they usually have a buffer zone around them. Often they are running through fields or through woods. But unfortunately, more and more in these days where there is less and less good building lots, there is more homes or schools that are built up right close to those. And that is our concern as our power grid needs go up, as our land use needs go up, that there will be more people exposed to higher levels of EMF. The distribution line on the other hand, that is on every street and that is much lower voltage. The transmission line higher voltage. The distribution line lower voltage.
