Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences
Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:
• Low relative humidity.
• Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static
buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)
• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.
While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an
environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic
equipment against ESD.
