EXCESSIVE humidity is one of several requirements for mold to grow. Some humidity is required for comfort. In winter climates, often the natural humidity is below the comfort level. The subject of this thread was humidity levels low enough to cause static issues, so much as you love your anecdote, it does not apply to this situation. |

This is not well known but some sets of conditions are almost guaranteed to create toxic molds that can persistfor hndreds of years and are almost impossible to clean away. - theres an exponential relationship between toxin production and well cavity relative humidity. . Very high humidity is the only environment the sick building problem occurs under (usually in closed wall compartments, when water wicks up through gypsum wallboard. inside those wall cavities the humidity approaches 100% The toxin production is metabolically expensive for mold so it wont do it unless it sees it as necessary. It becomes an arms race for survival between molds and we are the collateral damage. --- End quote --- >That is no more true than water = drowning or heat = fire. EXCESSIVE humidity is one of several requirements for mold to grow. You got it.. That and the presence of a suitable medium for it to grow on cellulose (paper) and gypsum wallboard is ideal mold food. >Some humidity is required for comfort.

[/quote] Yes, but there is a kind of ionizer that neutralizes static charges, its unreasonably expensive so not being used. There is a possibility for a useful aid to makers, perhaps there. The information a previous poster posted (thet negative ions neutralize ESD was wrong.. As I understand it, its a different kind of ionizer. Whats more the negative ions attract possibly dangerous dusts. |
