The common wisdom among solid state semiconductor folks is that it takes a potential of about 25,000 volts for an electrostatic spark to jump an inch of air.
This means that if your have a spark jump from your fingertip to an object, and it is about 1/3 of an inch long (a not uncommon situation), that almost 10,000 volts were involved.
