An electrostatic collection device of particles in suspension in a gas including a collecting chamber with a collecting wall, part of which forms a collecting electrode. The collecting electrode faces a discharge electrode in the form of a wire, so as to create a corona discharge between the discharge electrode and the collecting electrode, the collecting wall extends to the periphery of the discharge electrode. The discharge electrode is maintained at a first end by a first holder and at the second end by a second holder, both holders made of electrically insulating material(s). At least one traversal wall protrudes from the collecting wall, and has a shape adapted to deflect the path of a liquid present in the gas and flowing on the collecting wall to the transversal wall such that it does not come into contact with the second holder.

An electrostatic particle collector may generally include a housing having sidewalls extending lengthwise between a first end and a second end. The housing may define a plate slot that extends heightwise within the housing between a top end and a bottom end. The housing may further include a plate access window that provides access to the bottom end of the plate slot. The collector may also include a collector plate configured to be installed within the plate slot that extends heightwise between a top edge and a bottom edge. Additionally, when the collector plate is installed within the plate slot, the bottom edge of the collector plate may be accessible from an exterior of the housing via the plate access window so as to allow the bottom edge of the collector plate to be moved relative to the housing to facilitate removal of the collector plate from the housing.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a protective mask to be worn over a nose and mouth of a wearer to protect the wearer from hazards in surrounding ambient air. The mask includes a mask portion, an airway, and an ionization filter. The mask portion includes an interior that extends over the nose and mouth of the wearer. The airway extends between the interior of the mask portion and the surrounding ambient air. The ionization filter includes an emitter within a portion of the airway, and a collector plate radially encompassing the emitter and defining at least a portion of the airway. The collector plate is electrically connected to at least first and second conductive porous filters. The first and second conductive porous filters and the collector plate collectively form at least a portion of a Faraday cage that encapsulates the emitter.
