Are these efforts done in Vennesla?
After a lot of phone calls and visits to the municipality there is really
not much information we got from them, because it was partially classified.
Measurements which should have been initiated or which also
have been done here in Vennesla, to stop the health risk as a result of electromagnetism,
is actually uncertain if it has been done. Because the information was
classified there wasn't much information to get. From what we have found out, all
networklines in Vennesla are built according to the existing guidelines and consideration
of danger has been taken into account. All powerlines here in Vennesla have the same
system and effect as all other places in Norway, except the construction site at
Loevsanger.
A rumour has been going that the new construction site at Loevsanger has
been built too close to the powerline. To make sure if the rumour was true or
false and out of concern for the health of the people who live
there, we managed to get a man from VAE with us, who was an expert on electric
measurements.
From these pictures here and our measurements which were done on the 7.
June 2000. at Loevsanger, we can see that these houses lie in a Health risk
area. Because of documents and information which were held back, we couldn't find out why
the municipality had allowed these houses to be built here. The only thing we can be sure
of is: No efforts were made to stop these houses from beeing built.
This shows that VAE took this rumour seriously by going out and
taking measurements VAE shows that they care about the well - beeing of their
customers. Those who live too close to a power line and who were concerned for their
health could take contact with VAE, and they would personally come up to them and make the
necesiary measurements to find out whether or not their customers were exposed to any
danger.
