build up in dry air‚ such as during winter‚ because dry air acts as an insulator. Moist air is a fair conductor‚ so fewer charges build up on humid days. If you remove clothes from the dryer before they are completely dry‚ there will be fewer charges on them. You can reduce the build-up of static charges by drying only the same types of materials at one time. People may add an antistatic dryer sheet to a clothes dryer.

This point is well made in an unusual book called Being Wrong by American journalist Kathryn Schulz. It’s one of those books that
