Static is almost everywhere in our daily life. When you step on a chemical fibre carpet, the static is 35000V. While it’s 7000V when you turning pages. But it can also be several thousand V. In our life, static can hurt people. But in chemical industry, it can cause fire and even explosion. Then cause serious economic and security loss.
