Preventing static shock at home
隔绝家庭静电
A
Humidify your home. Static shocks are more likely to occur in dry environments.
保持家庭空气湿度。因为，越干燥的环境，越容易产生静电。
Ideally, your home should be above 30 percent rh, or relative humidity. You can measure the humidity of your home by purchasing a humidity thermometer.
理想状况下，家庭空气的相对湿度应该保持在30%以上。你可以购买湿度计来衡量家庭的空气湿度状况。
Raising the air humidity to 40 or 50 percent rh can help reduce static shock. You should aim for this range.
把空气的相对湿度提升到40%-50%之间能够有效减少静电。因此，你应该把空气的相对湿度维持在这目标区间内。
B
Treat your carpeting. Having carpeting at home instead of wood floors puts you at greater risk for static shock. Certain measures can be taken to make your carpet less conductive to static electricity.
整整家里的地毯。家中铺设的地毯比木质地板更容易产生静电。不过，你可以采取以下措施，减少地毯的导电性。
Rubbing fabric softener sheets over the carpet can prevent the buildup of static electricity but such methods do not have a permanent effect. Try repeating the process once a week.
在地毯上擦拭织物柔软剂片，能够防止静电集聚。但这不是一劳永逸的办法。你需要每周重复相同的过程。
You can also place cotton rugs on areas of the carpet that you walk across frequently as cotton is less likely to cause static shock.
你也可以把经常走路经过的那部分地毯替换成棉质材料的，因为棉织物相对不容易引起静电。
C
Adjust your bedsheets. If you're getting electric shocks in bed, adjusting your bedding might help.
更换床单。如果你在床上遭遇过静电，那么更换寝具可能会有所帮助。
Opt for materials like cotton over synthetic fabrics or wool.
选择诸如棉织品的材料，而不是合成纤维或者羊毛制品。
Try not to layer sheets, as fabrics rubbing together can cause static buildup. If your bedroom is warm enough, you may be able to ditch your top sheet or blanket.
尽可能不要叠加被单，因为纤维织品之间的摩擦可能会导致静电的积聚。如果你的卧室足够暖和， 可以拿掉顶层的被单或毯子。
Avoid static shock in public
隔绝公共静电
A
Moisturize your skin before going out. Excessively dry skin, especially dry hands, increases the risk of static shock.
在出门前，保持皮肤水分。因为，干燥的皮肤，特别是干燥的双手，容易增加静电风险。
If you wear panty hoes or silk lining, make sure you moisturize your legs before getting dressed to go out.
如果你想穿连裤袜或丝绸衬里的话，那么请确保在穿衣出门前要保持双腿的湿度。
Keep a travel-sized bottle of lotion with you in case your skin gets dry.
随身携带一瓶旅行装的乳液，以防皮肤干燥。
