Every person in his life has come across minor electric shocks: whether at home, removing a sweater, combing his hair, or at work - from computers or other electronic equipment. This electricity is called static because it accumulates in any object (person) until it finds the opportunity to exit (discharge). It arises from excess charges of static static fields.
Causes of Static Electricity
The human body resembles a battery. Each cell carries an electric potential in itself, each organ works due to an electric discharge, and nerves are wires that transmit impulses, like an ignition system in a car (but much more complicated). People in contact with each other also transmit electrical impulses.
The human body is a complex biofield, and it is very sensitive to external electrical noise, in particular to static electricity (SE).
The development of civilization more and more isolates a person from contact with the earth. In ancient times, people did not suffer from SE, because they walked on the ground and were wet in the rain (which also removes SE). But modern man built multi-storey buildings, invented synthetic clothes, rubber shoes, and the finishes in apartments are often also synthetic, and you can remove solar cells only by taking a bath. Synthetics, in turn, also create electricity.
The removal of SE provided by nature during urination was completely interrupted with the invention of toilets.
Hazard SE
In everyday life, the danger of statics to humans is very small. In contact with another person, death from a discharge was recorded once, in 1989 in Donetsk. The constant accumulation of electricity in the body adversely affects the work of the heart and nervous system. Depression, arrhythmia, mental illness - all this became common precisely because of SE.
The danger to electronics and equipment related to the production of plastic, textile, paper, in industries that use flammable liquids, comes from a person carrying a charge. In contact with it, it can provoke the destruction of microcircuits, wire contacts, damage sensitive electronic components, and cause inflammation of solvents.
For the person at work, the danger is that the charge of a conductive object can be discharged into a person. In ventilation systems, the accumulation of electrostatic charges can cause an explosion. Many cases of major accidents at enterprises are known.
SE is most dangerous in the production and transportation of explosive mixtures. Pumping through pipelines, draining, splashing liquid in the tank leads to the accumulation of electrostatic charges, which can lead to ignition.
Workers in areas affected by the electrostatic field complain of irritability, sleep disturbance, headache and other disorders of the nervous system.
