ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE APPARATUS FOR REMOVING PARTICULATE MATTER FROM AN ATMOSPHERE A compact apparatus for removing harmful particulate contaminants from the air in a work space includes a nozzle for atomizing water. The nozzle is connected to a supply of com- pressed air and to a supply of water, e.g., an ordinary water tap or storage tank. The apparatus also includes a metal ring and a power supply coupled to the ring to charge atomized water inductively as the water is expelled from the nozzle. A collar supports the ring in fixed, spaced-apart relation adjacent the nozzle. The collar is constructed, at least in part, from a non-conductive plastic, such as nylon, to avoid shorting of the power supply. Additionally, the collar includes a compressed air supply passage for introducing a stream of air into the collar. This air flows past the nozzle and the ring to prevent accumulation of water on the ring and collar and the electrical shorting which may result therefrom. Additionally, the stream of air minimizes degradation of the electrical charge on the fog of atomized water which would otherwise result from the addition thereto of oppositely charged water particles originating from the accumulation of water on the ring.
