Science question about static electricty!!?

Question

because some anaesthetics are explosives, why is it that the floor tiles in an operating theatre are made of a conducting material????

Answer 1

To make a connection to Earth , thus draining any static charges to the ground instead of allowing them to build up and result in sparks .

Answer 2

No anesthetic contains explosive compounds in a high enough concentration to actually detonate. Nitroglycerin may be used as heart medication, but never in an amount large enough to explode.
