I remember seeing a figure for voltage breakdown through air  recently, but 
can't remember what it is.  Seems like it's 1mm per 1000 volts or something 
like that.  Can anyone help?  Specifically, I'm concerned about how much 
spacing is required between components and chassis to guard against electric 
field coupling during an ESD event.

Thanks.
