Just bought the first component for eliminating dust on scanned negatives

With ESD fans you will generally have acceptable performance out to three feet from the fan to the surfaces that you are looking to control. There are field meters available to confirm that you are actually getting a zero static field. For our needs a bit pricey. I find that a balloon and rubbing it against my head tells me all that need to know in controlling static to my satisfaction at a reasonable cost. But I can be cheep.

You most likely will want to control the humidity to no lower than 30% to achieve the performance benefit of the ESD blower in your work area. This is a requirement. I have a humidifier running continually and don't even think about it being there. I'm in Denver the average environmental humidity is approximately 20% although dryer in the winter. It's not a heavy lift to raise the humidity an additional 10%. With the fan circulating the air the humidifier can be far enough away from my work surface that the mist is not a factor. And it is good for your skin.

I live in a desert so humidity is a good thing!

[Tin Can]

Yes not living in a desert I have less dust.

I try to keep my whole house at 45% in winter and it never goes below 30 %.

My floor model humidifier is basically a 6 gallon swamp cooler. Works great but I fill it once a day. During cold days twice.

Summer is damp.

Right now lots of rain we are past flood stage.

I lived in Phoenix a while and noticed the huge flood tunnels the homeless lived in. A deadly problem as desert flooding is sudden.

Flash flood also common in desert.

Don’t camp in a dry wash.

Here along SF Bay we have the opposite problem. It rarely gets hot, so humidity per se is not the issue, but constant dampness due to fog.

Once I went camping with my first wife along the Delaware River in New York State, green country. I put the pup tent about 30 feet back from the river. When we woke up, we were floating around inside the tent on the inflatable mattress. It had rained all night. So we got up, abandoned the camp and everyone else who had camped on higher ground and found a diner and had breakfast. Afterwards, we went back to the campsite. Everyone thought we had already left for good. So anyway, we packed up and left. End of our camping adventure.

I've had an indoor swimming pool in a tent a few times.

No way! Flash foods are instant and deadly.

Are you considering on using an ESD clean room smock and hair and face net/mask?
