Air Sanitation by Electrostatic Precipitation - In electrostatic precipitation airborne dust particles containing microorganisms are subjected to electric field. When the dust containing air is passed through an ionizer the dust particles are become charged.

From the ionizer the charged particles are carried through a collector which contains both negative and positive electrodes. Charged dust particles are deposited on the electrodes of opposite charge as they pass through them. Though it is a costly process, it is highly efficient.
