Original title K voprosu o dejstvii statičeskogo ėlektričestva v proizvodstvennyh uslovijah [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Feb. 1972, Vol.16, No.2, p.36-39. 8 ref.
Abstract The effects of static electricity on the body were studied in the manufacture of paper/plastics laminates, linoleum, tyre cord, and polystyrene film. Clinical and physiological examination of workers showed no specific pathological changes but an asthenoneurotic syndrome and vegetative vascular dysfunction phenomena. The authors make the following recommendations for plants subject to electrostatic charging: grounding of machines and plant; elimination of surface charges; increasing surface conductivity of dielectric materials.
