PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air cleaner with a built-in electrostatic atomizer, having improved safety. SOLUTION: The air cleaner comprises an applying electrode 2 for applying voltage to water to be atomized, a water absorber 4 contacting the water and having an atomizing part at one end, and a counter electrode 3 opposed to the atomizing part of the water absorber 4. Herein, the electrostatic atomizer 1 is arranged in a housing for electrostatic atomization of the water absorbed by the water absorber 4 from the atomizing part of the water absorber 4. One electrode connected to the earth side out of the applying electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3 in the electrostatic atomizer 1 is arranged closer to an opening portion opening near the electrostatic atomizer in the housing than the other electrode. Fingers, when put through the opening portion into the housing, therefore gets in touch with the electrode on the earth side. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
