How to Reduce Static Electricity in Winter?
1 Answers
From a personal perspective, try to wear cotton clothing as much as possible, because cotton clothes are less likely to generate static electricity. Additionally, pay attention to washing your hands before driving, or you can also eliminate static electricity by rubbing your hands on a wall. During the dry season, placing a damp towel on the dashboard to increase the humidity inside the car can also correspondingly reduce static electricity. Related information is as follows: 1. Harm to health: Static electricity usually does not cause discomfort to the human body, only causing an electric shock sensation upon contact discharge. Scientific research indicates that when static electricity accumulates in the human body to a certain extent, it can harm health, leading to abnormal current conduction in brain nerve cell membranes, affecting the central nervous system, and causing symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, irritability, insomnia, loss of appetite, anxiety, and mental confusion. In severe cases, it can also affect human metabolism, lead to increased blood sugar, skin diseases, nervous disorders, and reduced resistance. 2. The generation of static electricity in cars mainly has two points: (1) The human body itself is charged before coming into contact with the car, and naturally discharges upon contact with the car, with the amount of charge varying depending on the individual's constitution. (2) Friction between dust in the air and the metal surface of the car body generates electricity, and when a person touches the car, a discharge phenomenon occurs.
