ELECTROSTATIC MICROCLIMATE
Static electricity refers to phenomena caused by the accumulation of electrical charge on the surface of various bodies and objects and their replacement in contact with one another.
Static charge is created when two materials met and is separated again, or friction. This causes the distribution or transfer of negative electrons from one atom to another. The size of the charge depends on a number of factors, such as material, temperature, humidity, pressure and material separation rate. The higher the pressure or the separation rateis, the higher the charge is. Static charge occurs abundantly in the winter months (low humidity). Is it because some materials are able to absorb moisture (water) from the air into itself and thereby become more conductive.

SOURCES OF STATIC ELECTRICITY
Probably the largest static energy source on Earth is watercourses, where static electricity is generated by friction of water molecules on the rock or on the subsoil. The energy components (auras, zones, inter-zones) of underground springs, streams, rivers, beaches, ocean currents and shores create a massive three-dimensional grid across the Earth, whose conductive components interact with components of storm clouds and other charges. Due to the varying flows of watercourses and the movement of storm clouds, all three components of static electricity are in constant motion. This adds to the energy to fauna and flora.
Internal sources:
Internal sources:
- Low air humidity
- Insufficient grounding of the building / floors
- All metals
- Water flow in the heating system piping
- Electrical wiring
- All electrical appliances
- Fire and others
External sources:
- Building location (crossing of static zones)
- Wind
- Building size and building mass
- Effects of static electricity
- Infringement of electronics
- Increased tension on brain cells
- Unpleasant shocks
- In healthcare and in industry (material behavior)
OPTIMIZATION OF ELECTROSTATIC MICROCLIMATE
The optimal electrostatic microclimate is characterized by a minimal incidence of static electricity. Complete exclusion of static electricity is unrealistic. It is advisable to minimize static electricity.
Potential occurrence of static electricity must be eliminated e.g. suitable grounding or appropriate modification of transfer. It is necessary to divert the accumulated charge in the shortest possible time to avoid the accumulation of high potentials. The optimization of the electrostatic climate can be done either by interfering with an electrostatic source or by interfering with the transmission field.
The electrostatic source can be adjusted by means of antistatic agents and grounding. Conductive films from water to high molecular weight ammonium halogens are commonly applied. Appropriate clothing and footwear can also reduce the generation of static electricity.
Air conditioning and surface finishing of walls and floors can optimize the electrostatic field. The creation of an optimal electro-ionic microclimate can be done by inversion by air ionization or by increasing the relative humidity of the air. The risk of static generation is already minimal at relative humidity values of 60-70%. For floors and walls it is desirable to use antistatic coatings and perfect grounding.

ELECTROMAGNETIC MICROCLIMATE
An electromagnetic microclimate is a component of an internal environment created by an electromagnetic alternating field of electromagnetic waves with a wavelength greater than 1 mm (3.1011 Hz) in the space considered and affecting the overall state of the human. Magnetic induction should not exceed 25 nanotesla, ie 0.025 μT (microtesla) in areas designed for frequent people and sleep.
Electromagnetic radiation occurs both in the wild and in the indoor environment. Electromagnetic radiation can penetrate the interior from the outside, or it can be produced by internal sources. In the exterior, atmospheric discharge and solar activity are the natural source of electromagnetic radiation. Artificial sources are transmitters and high voltage lines. An internal source of electromagnetic radiation can be, for example, microwave heating, mobile phones, monitors, screens and other electronic appliances.
A magnetic field is always created around the conductor with the electric current passes. Conversely, if the magnetic field changes, then the electrical current is always induced in the conductor. Every change in the electric field induces a change in the magnetic field and vice versa.

SOURCES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
- High voltage lines, underground cables, transformer stations
- Base station antennas (BTS) and high-speed internet
- Mobile, radio and television transmitters
- Security systems
- Electrical circuits such as sockets, lighting, underfloor heating
- Domestic appliances, microwave, television, remote controls
- Mobile phones and computers, WiFi devices
- Children's remote control toys and baby monitors
Electrosmog is all the invisible radiation emitted by household electrical appliances. Electrosmog is the electromagnetic radiation that occurs when electricity is produced and transmitted - when using electrical appliances, in mobile networks, in telecommunications, but also in television and radio broadcasting. Depending on the frequency, the electrosmog is divided into low-frequency and high-frequency.
Electromagnetic radiation affects both living organisms and non-living objects. The most sensitive parts include eyes, nervous systems and sexual organs. Non-living objects are endangered if they are not shielded enough.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a scientific field dedicated to protecting users from electromagnetic radiation. Its application is not only in specialized workplaces but also in all areas where people come into contact with electromagnetic radiation.
CRITERIA OF ELECTROMAGNETIC MICROCLIMATE
The basic criterion is irradiation, which is dependent on field strength and exposure time. The field strength depends on the distance from the source and its size.
OPTIMIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC MICROCLIMATE
Optimization of electromagnetic microclimate can be done by intervention to the sources of electromagnetic radiation, or by intervention in the field of transmission or by use of personal protective equipment. The most efficient way is to completely eliminate the source of electromagnetic radiation. Interference into the electromagnetic radiation source is to eliminate the source, which is the most effective way to ensure optimum electromagnetic climate. Shields use aluminum or copper sheets with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. The shielding must be properly grounded. Interference to the transmission field lies in the local shielding according to the same principles as the source policies.
PROTECTION AGAINTS ELECTRO-SMOG
- Switch off electrical equipment when it is not in use
- Turn off the WiFi device at night; disconnect the lamp on the nightstand from the outlet. At night, turn off the cell phone or switch it to Airplane mode
- Do not stand on the wall behind which there is an electrical appliance
- Leave a distance of 0.5-1 meter from the cable and the extension
- Avoid using babysitters
There are protective elements against electromagnetic radiation such as special protective plasters, scratches, facades, paints and floors. In addition, there are also window shades, shading fabric on the wall or special mobile phone cases.
