N2 - Electrostatic measurements were made on subjects who were: (1) clothed with synthetic materials, (2) standing in a room having a synthetic rug on the floor and (3) in a low humidity (30%) environment. In other words, an attempt was made to simulate an extreme condition for the production of electrostatic discharge from humans, in order to determine electrostatic parameters upon which to base judgements on possible explosion hazards represented by, for example, anaesthetics.
