Apartment under the high-voltage line

Yesterday I found a good newly-built apartment with 79,000Yen, 24m2 floor. However, my move to a new apartment has been suspended, due to my fear about electromagnetic field under the high-voltage (154kV) power line 40-50m from the apartment. I had been to Akihabara to buy a Gauss (magnetic flux density) meter, but price was 18,900yen, so actually I bought a cheaper toy-like detector, which costed 3,600yen. With this detector, I could not find any dangerous level (2mG=0.2microT and 25V/m) under the power line. However, I did not trust the detector. Yes, What matters is my anxiety rather than the potential danger of electromagnetic field itself. Does anybody live happily in such environment?
