This is the 6th cache I've placed in the area. Growing up as an AC/DC fan, I have that album stuck in my head, so therefore this cache! Just another one to keep the Fayette County crowd and others running. It is not near the power station off the road. It is within 20' of the pavement. The clue is in the description below. Park within 10'. Coords are accurate though power lines do run overhead. Please replace exactly as found. Happy Hunting!
What Does EMF Stand For?
EMF stands for Electromagnetic fields, which are often called EMFs, and invisible electrical and magnetic forces. EMFs are a type of radiation, that take the form of waves.The magnetic field produced by a current in a conductor falls with distance from the conductor. Where there is more than one current forming part of one or more electrical circuits, there is also partial cancellation between the magnetic fields produced by the individual currents, and that cancellation generally becomes better at greater distances. Overall, the magnetic field is highest at the point of closest approach to the conductors and falls quite rapidly with distance. Similarly, there is partial cancellation between the electric fields produced by the voltages on individual conductors, and the electric field is usually highest at the point of closest approach to the conductors and falls quite rapidly with distance.
Therefore overhead lines produce a magnetic field which peaks underneath the conductors and falls rapidly with distance either side.
Living Close to Power Lines and How EMFs Harm Human Health
Your body acts like an energy wave broadcaster and receiver, incorporating and responding to EMFs. In fact, scientific research has demonstrated that every cell in your body may have its own EMF, helping to regulate important functions and keep you healthy.
Strong, artificial EMFs like those from power lines can scramble and interfere with your body’s natural EMF, harming everything from your sleep cycles and stress levels to your immune response and DNA!
Studies Show Living Next To Power Lines Increases The Risk Of Cancer
After hundreds of international studies, the evidence linking EMFs to cancers and other health problems is loud and clear. High Voltage power lines are the most obvious and dangerous culprits, but the same EMFs exist in gradually decreasing levels all along the grid, from substations to transformers to homes.
