I found it odd they measured the EMF so far away from people and then forgot the Earth and humans are 3D and not 2D.

They also considered other factors but failed to state how they mitigated them. They study is assuming correlation is causation, which is a bad assumption to make. I can show graphs that match ice cream sales to shark attacks and they almost perfectly line up. This means ice cream sales cause shark attacks, right? Nope, the factor which was not mitigated is that both items increase in the summer when more people are in the ocean. One must show the methods of mitigation of the other factors...the 'study" only mentioned they exist. Heck, one of the factors listed was having the literal high to residential power transformer in the basement of the residence!

A study's results are only as good as the study. That study is not very good, and is not even in the US, which has different height, voltage, frequency, etc, requirements.

A good layman's test is to hold one of those bar style flourescent bulbs in your hand, without power to it. If it glows, the EMF is too high. If not, no worries.
