Disclosed is a germicidal device for air and for liquids, characterised in that it has five different operation modes, which comprises a series of particle-retaining filters (2, 14, 22, 25, 35) made of activated carbon and silver-ion fabric and through which a current of fluid passes at different pressures, propelled by motor-turbines (16, 17) towards labyrinth plates (5, 6).
