Abstract: A device for remediation of gaseous or aerosol streams includes an elongated duct, at least one high potential electrode and at least one low potential electrode. The elongated duct defines a bore through which axially flows a gaseous or aerosol stream which is treated by the device to remove pollutants or particulates therefrom. A shaft rotatable within the bore of the duct includes a plurality of pins extending radially therefrom, the shaft and the pins constituting the high potential electrode. The duct may similarly include a plurality of pins extending radially into the interior bore of the duct, whereby the duct and the pins constitute the low potential electrode. The shaft is rotated by a motor relative to the duct, or the duct and shaft may be rotated together by the motor. The high and low potential electrodes are connected to a high voltage power source to effect a corona discharge between the high and low potential electrodes.

Abstract: A table having a table top having a top surface. Grilles are provided in the table top and are in flow communication with an electrostatic precipitator for purifying the air. The electrostatic precipitator collects the smoke particles on a filter, the clean, filtered air being discharged at low velocity back into the room. This table equipped with air cleaner and filter prevents smoke generated by smokers and in ashtrays from diffusing throughout the room by capturing the smoke close to the source of the impurities.
