Explanation for winter blankets and clothes

In winter, electrostatic blankets and clothing may occur. However, according to experts, it is not true that concerns about the health effects or resonance with the electrical current of an electronic device.

Startled by the electric blanket

Luu Thai Hung (room 108, post office building, Hoang Cau, Hanoi) reflected, not long ago he bought a blanket in Lang Son to use. One day, midnight woke up to pull a blanket for him, he was startled to see sparks glowing, accompanied by a loud sound. He tried several times with this blanket, the phenomenon continued. The more he tried to pull, the thicker the light and the cry. Also from that day, he did not dare to cover this blanket anymore. Because he worried that electricity from this blanket could affect the health of family members.

The case of Mr. Nguyen Van Luong's family (Kim Ma, Hanoi) is similar to Mr. Hung's. Mr. Luong said, the furry blanket he is using also has a flashiness phenomenon every time there is strong rubbing. In the evening, light and explosion sound like a racket catching mosquitoes when mosquitoes are caught. Because the mosquito net can cause jerks, Mr. Liang is also very worried that the blanket can generate electricity that affects the body or interacting with electricity when he stands near electronic devices.

According to Truong Phi Nam Hotel, Head of Research Department of Textile Institute, electrostatic phenomena in clothes, blankets are often encountered in the dry season. The electrostatic element is mainly due to raw materials and fibers. In particular, synthetic fibers containing more nylon will occur more electrostatic than natural fibers. The main reason is due to the physical and chemical properties of the fibers.

Truong Phi Nam Hotel analyzed further: In principle, when weaving clothes, the manufacturer must have an electrostatic treatment process. This is a relatively important stage, because if it is not treated with antistatic when it is in the form of fiber, it is difficult to process the finished product. Usually, to prevent static electricity, people can use antistatic agents. There are quite a lot of substances to resist, depending on the fabric will have corresponding substances .

Mr. Liu Thai Hung is describing the charged blanket.

At the same point, MSc Nguyen Viet Dung, Director of the Center for Biomedical Electronics, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said that electrostatic phenomenon occurs due to the process of friction of adding electricity. There are many cases of static electricity such as flashing mosquito-like light beams, there are also cases of transmission of electricity to the legs and floor to numb the body . However, all these factors do not affect the body.

"The electrical current due to electrostatic processes creates a very weak electric field, does not affect the body or health, is not to the extent of shock and shock to the affected person. Also, this current is not plus. With other electric currents creating influence on electrical equipment when using, therefore, people can feel secure , " MA Nguyen Viet Dung assured.

In addition, the electrical current of the clothes is completely different from the electric current of the mosquito catcher. Because this device has a source (battery) that creates a constant, constant current affecting the dead mosquito. Meanwhile, electrostatic phenomena have absolutely no source.
