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.
