A particle count measurement device includes a preprocessing section configured to place an aerosol introduced into a measurement region in an electrical state of any of a neutralized state, a positively charged state or a negatively charged state, a unipolar charging section inside the measurement region, the unipolar charging section being configured to place the aerosol which has been introduced in either a positively charged state or a negatively charged state that is an electrical state different from at a time of introduction, an ion trap arranged inside the measurement region, on a downstream of the unipolar charging section in terms of a flow of the aerosol, the ion trap including an ion trap electrode for generating an electric field that draws only gas ions in the aerosol, an exhaust mechanism configured to discharge the aerosol from the measurement region at a constant flow rate, and an ammeter for detecting, as a measurement value corresponding to a particle count concentration, a difference between current supplied by the unipolar charging section and current flowing into the ion trap. |
