General information about electrostatics General information about electrostatics Nowadays ESD is a problem at many workstations, because modern microelectronics easily destroyed by the sequels of ESD. Other branches of industry like e.g. telecommunications-, plastics-, and explosive material industry are also heavily affected by ESD. ESD causes losses of time as well as high financial losses and can endanger the human health.
