Questions From Readers

This question was posed by reader Gene :

"I have been asked to comment on whether persons with pacemakers should operate electrostatic paint spray guns or be in the near vicinity of an operating gun. Having no resources on the subject my first thought would be to error on the side of safety and state that while I have no evidence to back up my claim, that I would recommend persons with pacemakers not operate or be subject to operating electrostatic spray equipment. And that anyone wishing to do so would be doing so at their own risk. Do you have any information on this top? Please advise."
