Transformer station near house in new development area

If someone talks nonsense, you have to tell them that.

And radiant energy, living water, dowsing rods, homeopathy, harmful underground water veins, etc. are proven nonsense.

Regarding the blue algae issue, google Altmühlsee

The only one talking nonsense here is you.

I am speaking undiplomatically here and am probably getting a bit too worked up.

But where do you see a factual error?

True. That you say nonsense about your own opinion should be legitimate.

All known effects so far. No one really knows what we will know about it in 10, 20, 30 years.

You are talking about unknown unknowns. However, after 200 years of dealing with and researching electricity, these can be ruled out. If they exist, people obviously do not live long enough to experience them. If one thinks that a completely new field of knowledge could emerge in the future, one does not know the history of physics. Which of course is not bad, but here would have led to a different assessment. The fluctuating statements of the social sciences are based on the fact that they cannot rely on axiomatic laws of nature. Natural sciences can. The conclusion that things in science (that is, the one single science) could change quite quickly and what was true yesterday is no longer true tomorrow is a fallacy. One that, by the way, is becoming increasingly costly for us as the world develops further.

No, I just do not relate this solely to pure natural science, but also look around. For example, we still do not know what causes cancer. We know some factors that probably promote it, but this is neither 100% certain nor conclusively clarified. For example, smoking is very likely cancer-promoting, but not in everyone. There have been new findings in recent years and decades. And it is just as possible that there will be new findings regarding radiation at some point. Perhaps not the radiation itself, but maybe in connection with some other factor.

: You are of course right that there is still a lot to do in research and that there will certainly be findings that will surprise us. What we generally call "radiation" is an extremely broad field in many different research areas, which goes far, very far beyond electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with human health. Seen in this way, what you write cannot be dismissed. When it comes specifically to the "radiation" that actually comes from transformers, it is clear that it involves electromagnetic fields. And there is not much in terms of new findings to be expected here. This field is very well illuminated and by now belongs to basic knowledge without being doubted in any even remotely significant scientific debate. The thread was about the specific question of a 630kVA transformer and its "threat potential" to the health of the OP’s family. This "threat scenario" can be excluded in the specific setting with an almost absolute certainty. A large area of "radiation" cannot be sensually perceived by humans. This leaves room for speculation, which can lead to insecurity and fear. Unfortunately, this is both a market, e.g. for news, products, as well as a method of exercising power. Keeping your eyes open is good. Allowing yourself to be intimidated by it is unhealthy.
