Sponsored by 3M's Electronic Handling and Protection Div., static-planet.com offers industry news, standards and trends, frequently asked questions, links to professional organizations, and a forum for sharing ideas on static control.

A special feature is "Hair Raising Tales" by David E. Swenson. A former president of the ESD Association and resident static guru at 3M, Swenson shares his 25 years of personal experiences as a static control investigator.

In the near future, the site will have a software program that will enable engineers to develop custom static control programs for their facilities.
