If someone talks nonsense, you have to tell them.

And radiant water, living water, dowsing rods, homeopathy, harmful underground water veins, etc. have been proven to be nonsense.

Regarding the blue-green algae issue, Google Altmühlsee

You are the only one talking nonsense here.

I am speaking bluntly here and am probably getting a bit too worked up.

But where do you see a factual error?

True. It should be acceptable for you to say nonsense according to your own opinion.

All effects known so far. No one really knows what we will understand about this in 10, 20, or 30 years.

You are talking about unknown unknowns. After 200 years of dealing with and researching electricity, these can be ruled out. If they do exist, people obviously do not live long enough to experience them.
If one thinks that a completely new field of knowledge could emerge in the future, they are not familiar with the history of physics. This is not necessarily a problem, but it would have led to a different assessment here.
The changing statements from social sciences are based on the fact that they cannot rely on axiomatic natural laws. Natural sciences can. The conclusion that things in science (meaning the one single science) could change very quickly and that what was true yesterday will no longer be true tomorrow is a misconception.
One that, by the way, is becoming increasingly costly for us as the world continues to develop.

No, I am not referring solely to pure natural sciences but consider the broader context.
For example, we still do not fully understand what causes cancer. We know several factors that likely contribute to it, but this is neither 100% certain nor conclusively settled. For instance, smoking is very likely carcinogenic, but not in every case. There have been new findings on this over recent years and decades. Similarly, it is quite possible that new insights regarding radiation could emerge eventually. Possibly not from the radiation alone, but perhaps in combination with other factors.

@motorradsilke: You are of course right that there is still much work to be done in research and that new findings will likely emerge that may surprise us. What we generally refer to as "radiation" covers a very broad field across many different areas of study, extending far beyond just electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with human health. From this perspective, what you write is certainly valid.

When it comes specifically to the "radiation" emitted by transformers, it is clear that we are dealing with electromagnetic fields. There is not much new discovery expected in this area. This field is well understood and has become basic knowledge, not seriously questioned in any significant scientific debate. This thread focused on the specific question regarding a 630 kVA transformer and its potential "threat" to the health of the original poster’s family. This "threat" can be conclusively ruled out with near certainty in that particular setting.

A large part of "radiation" cannot be perceived directly by humans. This creates room for speculation, which can lead to insecurity and fear. Unfortunately, this is exploited by markets, for example in news, products, but also as a method of exercising power. Staying alert is good. Being intimidated by it is unhealthy.
