摘要

This report reviews environmental regulations pertaining to the electrical effects of overhead transmission lines. This report discusses environmental regulations of all the states and federal agencies and gives any quantitative values available. It does not attempt to review the design, operation, and maintenance practices of any electric utility. Both radio and television interferences are discussed in the section entitled: Interference to Communication Facilities; induced voltages, ground current potentials, and conducive coupling effects and corona generated ''ion drift'' phenomena of HVDC lines are discussed in the section entitled: Public Safety and Comfort; audible noise emission is discussed in the section entitled: Noise Pollution; ozone generation is discussed in the section entitled: Air Quality. A brief summary of these electrical effects precedes each discussion of the regulations. (ERA citation 04:026810)
