秋冬季节怎样防静电？

Static shock is the result of the redistribution of electric charges between different materials. While relatively harmless, static shocks can be annoying and even painful. Luckily there are a variety of methods you can use to avoid static shock.

Static electricity is generated whenever two materials come into contact with one another. Footwear scraping across fabrics and other surfaces generates electric shock. People tend to build up electrostatic charge when they walk around, but certain types of shoes can reduce the risk of shock.

Rubber is a powerful insulator. But if you have carpeted floors, or work in a carpeted office, wearing rubber-soled shoes greatly increases your chance of experiencing static shock. Opt for leather-soled shoes instead.

Wool is a good conductor, and can rub against fabrics to generate static charge. Try going for cotton socks over wool socks.

Synthetic fabrics, like polyester, conduct electricity well. Limiting the use of such materials in your personal wardrobe can reduce the risk of static shock.

Wool sweaters and wool clothing in general tend to produce more static shock. Opt for cotton when possible.

Invest in anti-static wristbands. Some companies sell wristbands you can wear to reduce your risk of static shock. If altering your clothing and footwear does not work, this might be a wise investment.

Humidify your home. Static shocks are more likely to occur in dry environments.

Ideally, your home should be above 30 percent relative humidity. You can measure the humidity of your home by purchasing a humidity thermometer.

Raising the air humidity to 40 or 50 percent relative humidity can help reduce static shock. You should aim for this range.

Moisturize your skin before going out. Excessively dry skin, especially dry hands, increases the risk of static shock.

If you wear pantyhose or silk lining, make sure you moisturize your legs before getting dressed to go out.

Keep a travel-sized bottle of lotion with you in case your skin gets dry.

Sitting in the car generates electrostatic charges because of the constant friction and motion caused by the movement of the car.

You can hold your keys before touching the car door, allowing the voltage to move to the metal in your keys.

静电是电荷在不同材料之间再分配的结果。虽然相对无害，但静电可能会给人带来不快与痛感。所幸的是，有各式各样的方法能避免静电。

当两种材料相互接触时，便会产生静电。通常情况下，鞋在不同质地的织物以及其他表面刮擦，便会产生静电。静电荷会随着人们的走动而增加，不过有几类鞋可以减少静电的风险。

橡胶是高效的绝缘体。但如果你家里的地面铺着地毯，或者公司办公室铺着地毯，那么穿橡胶底的鞋子将大大增加你遭受静电的可能性。因此应该选择穿皮革底的鞋子。

羊毛也是良导体，可以通过与不同质地的织物摩擦产生静电荷。因此应该尝试穿棉袜而不是羊毛袜。

涤纶等合成纤维的导电性良好。在个人衣橱中应尽量减少使用此类材料从而减少静电风险。

通常，羊毛衫与羊毛制衣物往往更容易产生静电，因此尽可能穿棉质衣物。

购买抗静电腕带。你可以佩戴某些公司售卖的腕带，从而减少静电风险。如果更换衣物鞋类不起作用，那这可能是笔明智的投资。

保持家庭空气湿度。因为，越干燥的环境，越容易产生静电。

理想状况下，家庭空气的相对湿度应该保持在30%以上。你可以购买湿度计来衡量家庭的空气湿度状况。

把空气的相对湿度提升到40%-50%之间能够有效减少静电。

在出门前，保持皮肤水分。因为，干燥的皮肤，特别是干燥的双手，容易增加静电风险。

如果你想穿连裤袜或丝绸内衬的话，那么请确保在穿衣出门前先给双腿保湿。

随身携带一瓶旅行装的乳液，以防皮肤干燥。

汽车本身的位移，会引起持续的摩擦与运动，因此坐在车中会产生静电荷。

你可以在触摸车门之前先握住钥匙，让电压转移到钥匙中的金属上。
