All the substances including human beings carry static electricity. Even a human being may carry electricity in its body of more than 10,000 volts. This electricity load creates in especially certain places an unpleasant feeling in people. It damages sensitive devices. For example, the physical life of sensitive electronic devices shortens, measurement devices start giving wrong results.
 
The most significant method to avoid this unwelcome situation is to select the right material for the floorings in sensitive spaces. If the flooring material you have selected has low electrical resistance (if it can conduce electricity easily) unwanted currents are transmitted to earth.
 
Thus, you should be very careful when selecting flooring materials for surgery rooms, laboratories, system rooms, computer rooms, electronic industry, explosive substance manufacturing facilities, petro-chemical industry, shortly all special places incorporating sensitive electronic devices.
