Power Lines & ELF Exposure in Irving, TX
How Power Lines Affect Irving Residents
Irving has 65 transmission lines and 31 substations within 5 miles of the city center. This includes 7 lines carrying 345 kV or more — the highest voltage class, which produces stronger ELF fields over a wider area. For homes near these corridors, distance is critical: ELF drops off sharply, but high-voltage lines have a larger impact zone than lower-voltage infrastructure.
Substations Near Irving
With 31 substations in the area, Irving has significant power distribution infrastructure. These are the points where high-voltage power is stepped down for local use. Each one creates a localized ELF field — if you live within a few hundred meters of one, it likely contributes to your score. The map shows exactly where they are.
Irving's ELF exposure is rated Moderate
Some parts of the city are near high-voltage transmission corridors (345+ kV), which have a wider ELF impact zone. If you live near visible power lines, checking your address will show how much they contribute to your personal EMF score.
RF vs ELF in Irving: Cell towers have a somewhat bigger impact than power lines in Irving (RF: 63, ELF: 39), though both contribute meaningfully. Checking your address shows which sources are most relevant to your specific location.
What This Means for You
Irving has some high-voltage (345+ kV) infrastructure nearby, which creates stronger ELF fields over a wider area than lower-voltage lines. If you're close to one of these corridors, it can meaningfully impact your score — the map shows exactly where they run.
How Irving Compares: Cell Towers & EMF Scores
Irving's EMF exposure score of 63 is significantly higher than both the Texas state average of 38 and the national median of 45, placing it in the elevated risk category. While cities like Mesquite, Corpus Christi, and Brownsville have much lower exposure levels, Irving residents may want to consider EMF mitigation strategies or explore lower-exposure neighborhoods within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
