Abstract

The transmission of pathogenic airborne microorganisms significantly impacts public health and societal functioning. Ensuring healthy indoor air quality in public spaces is critical. Among various air purification technologies, electrostatic precipitation and atmospheric pressure nonthermal plasma are notable for their broad-spectrum effectiveness, high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety. This review investigates the primary mechanisms by which these electrostatic methods collect and disinfect pathogenic aerosols. It also delves into recent advancements in enhancing their physical and chemical mechanisms for improve efficiency. Simultaneously, a thorough summary of mathematical models related to the migration and deactivation of pathogenic aerosols in electrostatic purifiers is provided. It will help us to understand the behavior of aerosols in purification systems. Additionally, the review discusses the current research on creating a comprehensive health protection system and addresses the challenges of balancing byproduct control with efficiency. The aim is to establish a foundation for future research and development in electrostatic aerosol purification and develop integrated air purification technologies that are both efficient and safe.
