Aeris Tritton gave a public health notice for people with older-style heart implants near the Murrawombie mine from 16 December to 21 December.Â
Â
The copper mine is carrying out electromagnetic work and cautions people with older-style heart implants traveling along the Yarrandale and Murrawombie Road to stay clear of the monitored zones.Â
Â
Symptoms can include among others dizziness, feeling lightheaded, or heart palpitations.Â
Â
Work will take place during the day time and there are signs in place advising of the public health notice.Â
Â
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can cause an interruption of another electronic device within its proximity.Â
Â
It can either disrupt the function of a pacemaker, cause irregular heart rhythm, or interfere with a pulmonary artery sensor reading.Â
Â
Due to the variety of heart implant devices, patients are encouraged to speak to their doctor for more information.
Â
Aeris Tritton conducts electromagnetic work every year and issues a public health notice annually.Â
Bogan Shire Council is helping to spread the word to ensure people who may be affected can avoid the area during this week.
