Explanation
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from high-voltage power lines and electrical substations are a stigma concern in real estate. While the scientific evidence on health risks is inconclusive, proximity to these facilities can affect property values due to buyer perception. Illinois agents should be aware of EMF concerns and disclose proximity to such facilities, as failure to disclose could lead to claims of material misrepresentation.
