THE HEALTHY OPTION

Mankind evolved over millions of years designed to run bare foot on the ground and therefore our bodies remained at ground potential. Footwear manufacturers have long since addressed the problem by ensuring that shoe soles and linings dissipate electricity, however their efforts are to no avail if the surface we walk on is electrically insulating. The build up of static electricity in the human body is the prime cause of sick building syndrome and a contributory factor to stress and anxiety. With the exception of electricity sub-stations and similar areas where personal are required to work on live electrical equipment, all floors should be anti-static.
