No: Radiation does not have any effect on this. During the winter with dry air in your home the shuffling of socks on carpet and the friction of your clothes creates static electricity. When you touch a metallic object it discharges and you feel and hear the discharge. Static electricity is created like when you rub a balloon on your hair.

No: Static electricity is related to ambient temperature and humidity and the degree of your skin moisture not to prior radiation treatment. While many people think that "they will glow in the dark" after radiation, this is not true. Radiation is an electromagnetic phenomenon, but the electric field cannot be separated from the magnetic field to make one electric or magnetic.

Radiation and static: No radiation has no effect on static electricity. That has more to do with the type of clothing yo wear, the composition of your carpets, and the humidity.
