Shock experience, ESD from our body can be a nuisance but are not generally health risk. There is some report that it may cause fire and explosion risk if there is a spark near by flammable atmospheres such as gas station and etc.
Industry pays a price for ESD problem. Not just human being can feel or experience of ESD but all those ESD susceptibility such as electronics part, semiconductor, Hard disk and etc also can feel or experience of ESD. It would damage those devices or made device malfunction. Even worst because you can't feel, hear, smell and see ESD, the level that damage your devices.
There are thousands of cases of ESD damage to sensitive product such as semiconductor, hard disk, electronics and etc. Some cases pays millions of dollars without notice. Loose their customer because reliability issue in the field. Product doesn’t work went out the door.
So we have to know and learn more about Basic Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), their cause of effect, prevention, control and finally solutions to fix ESD issue.
