The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring particle concentrations in an aerosol. The apparatus comprises means (103) for driving flow (105) into apparatus (101), means (115) for electrically charging particles (109) to become electrically charged particles (123) by ions (113) produced by a charger, means (117) for removing free ions (113) which are not attached to the electrically charged particles (123), and means (119) for measuring electrical current carried by the electrically charged particles (123). The means (115) for charging the particles and the means (119) for measuring electrical current carried by the electrically charged particles (123) are dimensioned such that the means (119) for measuring electrical current carried by the electrically charged particles (123) only measures a part of a total current carried by the particles.

An electrostatic precipitator includes: a chamber having an inlet configured to receive an effluent stream for treatment and an outlet configured to convey a treated effluent stream; and an electrode structure housed within the chamber, the electrode structure being operable to generate a corona for treating the effluent stream to produce the treated effluent stream, wherein the electrode structure includes a comb structure having a shaft and a plurality of teeth extending from the shaft, the corona being generated at a free tip of each tooth in response to a voltage when applied across the electrode structure and the chamber The electrode teeth provide a reduced area from which the corona is generated, thereby improving the corona, but also the reduced size of the electrode teeth compared to existing electrode structures provides a reduced area for the accumulation of particulates and facilitates the shedding of those particulates from the electrodes.

An air disinfection device includes a shell having entry and exhaust ports, a power supply installed above the shell, and a dust collecting cylinder installed on the shell, connected to a negative electrode of the power supply, and having air inlet and outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet are communicated with the entry port and the exhaust port, respectively. The conductive rod has one end installed above the shell and connected to a positive electrode of the power supply, and the other end located in the dust collecting cylinder and close to the air inlet. An arrangement direction of the conductive rod is consistent with an axis direction of the dust collecting cylinder. The power supply provides high-voltage current to the conductive rod to form a symmetrically distributed high-voltage electrostatic field inside the dust collecting cylinder to sterilize and disinfect air passing through the dust collecting cylinder.
