🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative humidity and how moisture in the air affects cargo and microorganisms • Conditions needed for mold growth (temperature, moisture, organic material) • How static electricity is typically generated on ships (e.g., by dry air, flowing cargoes, loading operations)

💭 Think About

• Think about whether high humidity makes the air more conductive or less likely to allow static charges to build up. • Consider what kind of environment mold and mildew need to grow on cargo surfaces or packaging. • Ask yourself: in a damp, closed cargo hold, which of the two listed effects is more realistically encouraged by moisture in the air?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what conditions usually increase static electricity (dry vs. humid air). • Recall that mold needs moisture and suitable material (such as foodstuffs, textiles, paper, etc.) to grow. • Decide separately whether statement I is realistic under high humidity, and whether statement II is realistic, before matching them to the choices.
