SUBJECT: EMF's AND
CURRENTS ON GAS PIPES.....
There is a gaussmeter shown on this ebay
webpage regarding Magnetic Sciences - Canada: http://stores.ebay.ca/Magnetic-Sciences that is yellow and has a blue probe. It is a Model
95.
I have a Magnetic Sciences International
Magnetic Field Meter (probe shows Model 25) that is yellow with a blue probe --
which appears to be the same as the Model 95. I purchased my
gaussmeter many years ago from Tucson but later learned the supplier moved to
Canada. I am no longer able to locate any information regarding Magnetic
Sciences International except above from the E-bay site.
The reason my particular meter is so
important is that it has a probe that allows for measuring magnetic fields on
our gas service (also other homes and fire stations) over the connectors that a
Trifield meter does not pick up. The technician from
Great River Energy (transmission company) confirmed my meter readings re
"ambient readings" were identical to his Trifield
meter.
Three gas company techs/service
representatives and one technician from the transmission company watched as the
readings increased on my meter.
In our home only 50 ft. from two high
voltage powerlines, I am measuring magnetic fields between 5.0 milligauss and
7.0 milligauss higher than "ambient readings" at two locations next
to connectors. At the time of measuring, "ambient
readings" (on-the-grass near meter) were about 9.5 milligauss. Readings
on the two locations varied from about 14.0 milligauss to around 17.0
milligauss.
Measurements taken at a nearby fire
station (121st Ave. NW) are similar to ours but the readings are slightly lower
due to greater distance from the powerlines -- still a major concern tho
-- variations between 4.0 mg and 7.0 mg.
Fire station (Egret) had ambient reading
of 0.5 milligauss with similar readings over gas service and at connections
until I recorded levels of about 1.5 mg to 1.8 mg higher toward the other end
of the gas service. I mentioned this to one of the firemen saying that I
suspect something on the inside of the building as the cause for the increased
readings and he confirmed that the main electricity source is located opposite
the gas service. There is a lot of rust over the entire gas
service.
A friend of ours lives in a home about 300
ft. or more from the powerlines tha run by our place and he has
"Zero" for an ambient reading several feet away from his gas
service. His gas service does have a reading of about 0.5
milligauss near the connections in a couple of locations which may be due to
the tracer wire but I understand that is direct current. Transmission
tech did admit this is most likely picking up magnetic fields from the
transmission lines. No rust was observed on the gas service.
Another home has rapidly fluctuating
magnetic field readings with ambient readings around 0.5 mg. Turns out
that house also has the electric service adjacent to the gas service. Readings
were difficult but ranged from about 4.0 mg to 7.0 mg near connectors and
possibly the pipes themselves. The service had recently been
repainted.
The gas company dug up across the street
the other day and installed an anode and clipped the tracer wire to the
main. As I expected, this did nothing to reduce the magnetic field
readings close to connectors in two locations on our gas
service. I was told to once again report this to one of the
gas company technicans.
A couple of years ago, there was an
explosion at a business in nearby town (Anoka) due to separation of a
polymerized pipe from a connection. My fear is that constantly
changing magnetic fields/currents may compromise structure of our pipes and
connections. I have attempted to learn whether or not a transformer may
have been close to the point of explosion in the Anoka situation but have not
received a response.
I have several technical items that I have
shared with a few others but have not received any comments. I will
share the references with anyone interested in reading more on the
subject.
While the technicians were here at our
place, they quietly discussed something about the National Electrical Code as
in "changes may be needed" as well as some other regulation, the name
of which I didn't catch.
So far, it looks like the problem will not
be resolved by moving the gas service to the back of the house. Actually,
that is also where the electrical service is located (and should be moved -- on
a bedroom wall). Ambient readings that day even at the back of our
house -- farther away from the lines were 3.5 milligauss.
I have decided to include that I
have been reviewing the following:
Chapter VIII - Corrosion Control at: http://ops.dot.gov/regs/small_lp/Chapter8.htm
http://www.who.int/peh-emf/meetings/archive/en/paper02shwehdi.pdf
WHO...re trans line EMF interference with buried pipeline..... (12
pages)....
The changing magnetic fields/currents over
the steel gas pipes is causing rust. I am doubt that anything can
be done that will allow for this situation to remain "as is,"
IF buildings are close to high voltage powerlines, radio towers and electric
service and also transformer boxes, etc. I can
not say what measurements might be due to cellular antennae but I did take
similar readings at my brother's house which is right under a radio
tower. Take
care - Joanne
