L would guess you are referring to High Power lines. Regarding health issues there is some concern (Not definitive) regarding EMFs (Electric and Magnetic fields). While health issues may not be an issue, you don't see houses built under the lines. The following link discusses that issue.
High Voltage Overhead Line Side Effects: Health Risks and Safety Tips
I personally would shy away from the site because despite whether there is a health or safety issue, there is a perception of risk. If the issue is a concern for you, it will be to others.
