| Abstract |
This article examines the causes of fire hazards due to work with plastics, which, as they are generally little affected by the level of humidity, consequently increase the problems and hazards of static electricity. Conditions in which sparks can start a fire are considered: spark energy dissipation, flammable mixture concentration, spark voltage >5,000V, insulation from earth, Lichtenberg discharge. |
