An apparatus for treating air, such as an air humidifier, air cleaner, air washer or the like, may include a rinse-around body around which liquid rinses, an air conduction system arranged to stream the air to be treated against the rinse-around body, and an electrostatic precipitator assigned to the rinse-around body such that solid and/or liquid particles are precipitated from the air to be treated streaming against the rinse-around body and that the precipitated particles enter the liquid.

A hybrid humidity control and air purification device and method for hybrid humidity control and air purification. The hybrid device is a single unit capable of humidifying dry environmental air, dehumidifying humid environmental air and removing particulates and contaminants from the air. The device controls the outgoing air to a relative humidity setpoint between 35-50% with negligible particulate matter content. Particulate matter is transferred to water, which may be supplied and flushed by an automatic water pumping system.
