N2  - ElectricalPower Transmission Lines (PTL) generate electromagnetic field while carryingelectrical energy from power generating stations to the electrical power distributionsystems. Due to increase in population, infrastructures are being built closeto or under the power lines; thus, violating the range of the tower setback. This exposes nearby residence to electricfield pollution. In this paper, we present an evaluation of the electric fieldpollution from the 330/132kVA power transmission lines in Ibadan (Ido localgovernment), Oyo state Nigeria. we measured the electric field of the powertransmission line of the closest proximityto the nearest infrastructure using electromagnetic tester (model 3120-EN-00).Evaluation of spatial distance between the nearest infrastructure and thetransmission lines was done by obtaining the spatial position of thetransmission tower and the infrastructure using Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver (model GPSMAP 78 Series) satellite system. The setsof data obtained were processed in ARCGIS environment and the distance from thetransmission tower to the nearest infrastructure was obtained. Also, the rangebetween the tower with reference to a particular tower was obtained usinganalytical techniques. The ICNIRP standards were used to evaluate theresult. The results showed that the electric field strength is below thestandard limit. Regulatory bodies like thePower Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Occupational Health and Safety Code (OHSC) andLagos State Urban and Regional Planning (LSURP) regulations legislated a minimum setback ofevery infrastructures proximity to power lines. These regulations were used toevaluate infrastructures violating the rules. 12.5% of the infrastructuresassecible complied with the PHCN regulation, 56.85% complied with the LSURPregulation and 78.12% compiled with the OHSC regulation.
