The hazards of static electricity

In the dry winter, many friends have static electricity on their bodies, but they can't feel it. They are often suddenly shocked when they come into contact with people or take something. Sometimes it hurts, but no one cares too much. However, this kind of static electricity can also cause certain harm to the human body, so it is better for us to avoid it as much as possible, so as not to bring unnecessary effects to the body after a long time.

Let's learn about the hazards of static electricity and how to effectively prevent static electricity in daily life. I hope it will be helpful to you.

What are the hazards of static electricity to health?

Experts remind us not to think that static electricity only makes people uncomfortable, it actually has a negative impact on human health. Medical experts have confirmed that skin electrostatic interference can change the normal potential difference on the human body surface and affect the normal electrophysiological processes of the myocardium. This kind of static electricity can make the patient's condition worse. Persistent static electricity can also increase the alkalinity of the blood, causing skin itching and pigmentation, affecting the body's physiological balance and interfering with people's emotions.

The elderly are more susceptible to static electricity because their skin is drier than that of young people, their cardiovascular system is aging, and their anti-interference ability is weakened. For elderly people who already have various diseases in the cardiovascular system, static electricity will make their condition worse. Excessive static electricity often causes people to feel anxious, have headaches, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, coughs, etc.

How to prevent static electricity in daily life

1. Try not to place or place as few household appliances as possible in the bedroom. This can prevent the electric field generated by the human body and electrical appliances at close range and static electricity from touching each other. It is best to watch TV at a distance of 2 to 3 meters.

2. Use a "third party" to eliminate static electricity. To avoid static electricity shock, you can use a small metal device (such as a key) or cotton rag to touch the door, door handles, faucets, chair backs, bed rails, etc. that may cause static electricity to eliminate static electricity, and then touch them with your hands.

3. Use pure natural fabrics. Try to use natural textiles such as cotton, linen, and silk for underwear, bed sheets, quilt covers, etc. Try not to use or wear home textiles and clothing made of chemical fibers.

4. Use a wooden comb and conditioner. Use a wooden comb when combing your hair and use conditioner when washing your hair to eliminate static electricity.

5. Maintain indoor temperature. This way static electricity is not easily generated. It is best to use a humidifier indoors in winter, and you can also place flowers and plants to avoid static electricity.

6. Use anti-static materials on floors, walls, ceilings, etc.

7. Eat more vegetables, fruits, yogurt, drink more water, and supplement calcium and vitamin C to reduce the impact of static electricity.

How to prevent static electricity for car owners

Install an electrostatic discharger. Static dischargers are divided into grounding type and air discharge type, but according to experts, the current trend is to install both sets, which is much more effective in eliminating static electricity than installing only one set.

Spray with anti-static spray. There is a new product called "anti-static spray" on the market. Spray it evenly on the car body and wipe it off with a towel. Your car will have a magical anti-static effect, and it is effective for a long time!

Use less makeup. For female car owners, they should try to minimize the use of cosmetics in dry environments, as heavy makeup will make the skin drier.

Use air conditioning less often. Especially the internal circulation air conditioning, which makes it even more difficult to retain any moisture in the already dry car interior. It is recommended to keep the window half open (to avoid the wind blowing directly on your body). It doesn’t matter if you sweat a little. It is better for the skin to properly promote the secretion of sweat glands.

Lay out a wet towel. Place a wet towel on the dashboard and use sunlight to evaporate the moisture in the towel quickly, thereby increasing the humidity inside the car.

Everyone knows the hazards of static electricity. If you often come into contact with computers in your life and work, you must take measures to prevent static electricity, because the computer screen will generate static electricity and can attract a lot of floating static electricity in the air. This will cause great irritation to the face of people who sit in front of the computer every day. I hope that today's introduction will give you more understanding and prevention of static electricity.
