One of the main sources of electromagnetic radiation in the environment are power lines, not taking into account this fact, there are increasingly cases of construction of buildings in close proximity to the boundaries of the security zones of air lines. The purpose of this study is to improve the electromagnetic safety of the population, as a result of the use in the construction of residential facilities located near overhead power lines, structural and finishing materials with the greatest shielding ability. On the example of "corrugated Board" of different brands, used as a shielding material, the indicators reflecting the efficiency of electromagnetic shielding are obtained. Also, according to the results of the study, it was found that not only the raw material from which the material is made plays a role in the shielding of the electric field, but also its form factor.
