An exhaust treatment system includes an exhaust dust removal system and an exhaust ozone purification system. The exhaust dust removal system has a dust removal system inlet, a dust removal system outlet, and an electric field device (1021). The exhaust ozone purification system includes a reaction field (202) for mixing an ozone stream with an exhaust stream for a reaction. The exhaust treatment system is able to effectively remove particulate matters from the exhaust, improving the purifying treatment effect on the exhaust.

A method for reducing dust removal electric field couplings includes the following steps: selecting a ratio between a dust collection area of a dust removal electric field anode and a discharge area of a dust removal electric field cathode to be 1.667:1-1680:1. A dust removal electric field anode and/or dust removal electric field cathode size is selected so that the number of electric field couplings is less than or equal to 3. The number of electric field couplings is reduced, electric field energy consumption is low, electric field coupling consumption for an aerosol, water mist, oil mist and loose smooth particulate matter is reduced, and electric field energy is saved.
