Hi Russ,

The ground cover can attenuate or reduce the Electric field, but Not the
Magnetic field. Only special high-price shielding like mu-metal can
reduce or attenuate the magnetic field.

Buried wiring looks good, but it is only buried 2 ft from ground level.
When this is done along roads or driveway, then when you walk on that
road/driveway your feet are only 2 ft from the center of the magnetic
field.
Compare this with up in the air, at least 13 ft off the ground so that
semi-trucks/lorries can get under them.
Since magnetic fields are exponential in how the field strength goes
down with distance, the 2 ft vs. 13 ft. can represent a 400% change in
field strength. (Estimate, depends on amperage flow.)

It is generally accepted that power line workers get higher rates of
cancer. 2 mG = double rate. 3 mG = triple rate. So what do you get when
walking or riding bicycle, etc. regularly along a 10 mG line??

> Stewart, can you elaborate on what you said about underground wiring not being safer.  In other places I have seen it said that for electro-sensitive people it is better for the electricity to come to the house underground rather than overhead and I was thinking I might have to look for a house where this was the case.  I assumed the ground must provide some blocking or insulation of the magnetic field.  But you're saying that underground is not better?  Thanks,
