Disease Features exposure to electric transmission lines
Absence or low individual and public risk
Exposure to electric transmission lines - what does this mean
Exposure to electric transmission lines can cause a disease known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (ehs). this is a condition in which individuals experience a range of symptoms that they attribute to the exposure of electromagnetic fields from power lines, cell phones, and other electronic devices. symptoms of ehs can include headaches, fatigue, skin rashes, and difficulty concentrating.
What happens during the disease - exposure to electric transmission lines
Exposure to electric transmission lines can cause a variety of health effects, including disruption of the body's electrical system and interference with the production of hormones and other essential chemicals. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, insomnia, and even cancer. in addition, long-term exposure can also lead to an increased risk of developing neurological and cardiovascular diseases.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination of the affected area
- Blood tests to detect levels of certain chemicals
- Urine tests to detect levels of certain chemicals
- Imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the electrical activity of the heart
- Electromyography (EMG) to measure the electrical activity of the muscles
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure the electrical activity of the brain
- Exposure to electric transmission lines testing

Exposure to electric transmission lines - Prevention
The best way to prevent exposure to electric transmission lines is to avoid living, working, or playing near them. if this is not an option, then it is important to ensure that all safety measures are taken to reduce the risk of exposure, such as keeping a safe distance from the lines and using protective shielding to reduce the amount of electromagnetic radiation. additionally, it is important to be aware of any changes to the environment that may increase the risk of exposure, such as construction near the lines.
