Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from high-voltage power lines near a Texas property are considered what type of environmental concern?
AA TCEQ-regulated hazardous substance requiring disclosure
BA potential stigma issue that may affect property value, though scientific consensus on health effects is still evolving✓ Correct
CRegulated under the Texas Water Code
DAn OSHA workplace safety issue only
Explanation
EMFs from power lines are not classified as hazardous substances under EPA or TCEQ regulations. However, proximity to high-voltage lines can create a stigma that affects marketability and value. Some buyers are concerned about potential health effects (though scientific evidence is inconclusive). Agents should disclose the proximity as a material factor that some buyers consider.
