EM Radiation Protection

I run various machinery to cut/polish stone for mosaics. Is there a source for protective wear against EM radiation?

Shouldn't need anything

Unless you are using some very old motors the magnetic field around them shouldn't be a problem. I use most any power tools both AC and gasoline. The electrical field won't cause any problems with the newer model pacemakers. The pacemaker is inside a metal case and the leads to the heart are shielded.

The other thing to keep in mind is that if you do encounter a problem EM field just moving away will restore normal pacer function.

If you have any particular power equipment you wonder about drop me a note here with the specs (HP, volts, amps) of the motor and how close your pacemaker area would get to it. I don't have exact knowlege, but I can make a pretty good guess.

You know you're wired when...

Lifetime warranty no longer gives peace of mind.

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
