Low-cost conductive flooring for hospitals

A new type of electrically conductive flooring for use in hazardous locations in hospitals is designed to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges on personnel and equipment which would create an explosion hazard in areas where combustible anesthetics are stored or used. This discussion of the characteristics desired in such flooring, and of the results of tests which have been made, should prove interesting not only for hospital use, but for many other purposes, as an extrapolation of the basic principle.
