Electrostatic reduction system for reducing airborne dust and microorganisms

A method for reducing airborne particulates comprising

• (a) installing a space charge system in an enclosed space wherein said system comprises at least one negative air ion generator wherein said generator includes at least one ionizing electrode and a ground plane perpendicular and proximate to said at least one electrode wherein said at least one electrode is facing away from said ground plane, and at a distance apart to create an electrostatic field which reduces airborne particulates without creating an arc,
• (b) applying a high negative voltage to the generator to generate an electrostatic field,
• (c) dispersing negative electrostatic charge throughout said space outside of said system, and
• (d) collecting airborne particulates in or on a dust collection device.

A space charge system for reducing airborne contaminants comprising,

• (a) at least one negative air ion generator wherein said generator includes at least one ionizing electrode,
• (b) a ground plane perpendicular and proximate to said at least one electrode wherein said at least one electrode is facing away from said ground plane, and at a distance apart to create an electrostatic field which reduces airborne particulates in an enclosed space outside of said system without creating an arc, and
• (c) a dust collection device wherein said device comprises a first tray containing an aqueous composition located above said generator and ground plane and a second tray containing an aqueous composition located at the bottom of the enclosed space below said generator and ground plane, and
• (d) a source of power to effect said ionization from said electrode.
