The reference to magnitite dates back to high biology from the seventies for me, although I did find one rather obscure video where the researcher refers to this effect. If I can find the link I'll post it. As for WHIMIS for welders you should be able to find plenty of info on that. Don't have any handy links at this time.<div><br><br>On Saturday, March 14, 2015, Loui Chang <<a href="mailto:louipc.ist@gmail.com">louipc.ist@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Sat 14 Mar 2015 10:17 -0400, Russell Reiter wrote:<br>

Any references regarding this interference field and its effects?<br>
I found some mention of problems with pacemakers which seems reasonable.<br>
I'm curious about other effects or complications though.<br>
<br>
Also the magnetite present in every living human cell?<br>
Thanks<br>
