Often found in the workplace and apartment buildings, lifts have motors that may be placed close to an adjoining wall of an office work station or an apartment bedroom. The motors can give off high magnetic, electric and dirty electricity fields.

The Problem

The cabling & motors from lifts may create high levels of dirty electricity, magnetic and electric radiation fields within the vicinity of the apparatus. This is important for positioning within workplaces and for apartment dwellers. The placement of lifts is seldom viewed as a source of discomfort to nearby occupants and is usually overlooked as creating or exacerbating health symptoms.

The Solution

Look around your workplace to find where electronic appliances and devices are located and then have space between yourself and the device.

When renting or buying within an apartment block, consider the placement of the lift and look for any other hazards in the immediate vicinity.

If in doubt, or for a full assessment of the hazards within your home or place of work, contact Environomics.
