A member asked:
I work at a casino i recentley found out that im pregnant 8 weeks,ive been going through a metal detector everyday can this harm my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metal detectors: operate by sending a magnetic wave generated by electricity and are not x-rays. There may be a theoretical risk of high dose magnetism, but in the case of a commercial metal detector the dose and duration is so low I wouldn't worry.
