Static electricity will electrocute people.
Static electricity will cause damage to human health, according to the "Health News" reported that neurasthenia, hypertension, heart disease, mental illness and other patients, especially patients with cardiovascular disease to properly guard against static electricity.
This is because of the aging of the cardiovascular system in the middle-aged and elderly, anti-interference ability to weaken, external static interference can often lead to its arrhythmia, tachycardia, induced premature beats, and even atrial fibrillation. Some studies have shown that static electricity is more harmful to the elderly, sick and pregnant people, it can interfere with the membrane potential of red blood cells, resulting in red blood cell aggregation in the blood vessels, so that middle-aged and elderly people are prone to myocardial infarction or cerebral thrombosis.
The static electricity can cause the pregnant woman's body progesterone level drop, and then triggered a miscarriage or preterm delivery; static electricity will inhibit the sex hormone production of middle-aged and elderly men, causing premature aging and male sexual dysfunction. In addition, static electricity can also lead to dry skin, allergies, itching, erythema and hyperpigmentation.

Harms of static electricity:
1, explosion and fire
Explosion and fire are the biggest hazards of static electricity. Although the electrostatic energy is not large, but because of its high voltage and easy to discharge. When the charged body and the uncharged or electrostatic potential low objects close to each other, if the potential difference reaches more than 300 V, there will be a spark discharge.
Spark energy of electrostatic discharge, if it has reached the minimum ignition energy of the surrounding combustible materials, and combustible materials in the air when the concentration of the explosive limit, it will immediately burn or explode.
2, electrostatic shock harm to the human body
Electrostatic shock occurs only in an instant, the current through the human body for the instantaneous impact current, and its harm is mainly manifested in three aspects: direct harm, secondary injury, mental tension. The human body suffers from electric shock, will be nervous, the occurrence of misuse, fall from height, fall or touch the machinery causing injury and other consequences.?
3, static electricity production environment and other hazards
Static electricity can make the production of powder deposition, clogging pipelines, sieve holes, etc., resulting in poor transportation caused by the system holding pressure, overpressure can lead to equipment rupture. Storage and transportation of plastics and other products in the process, electrostatic discharge can lead to product melting, bonding, discoloration or even decomposition and deterioration, scrap and so on. Electrostatic discharge energy may lead to computers, production control instruments, safety control systems in the silicon component damage, causing misuse and accidents.
