<p>An electrostatic atomizing section (11) comprises: a discharge electrode (12) that has a discharge section (12a); a Peltier unit (13) for an electrode, which supplies water to the discharge section (12a); and a high voltage applying section (14) that applies a high voltage to the discharge electrode (12). An electrostatic atomizing device (10) atomizes the water that is supplied to the discharge section (12a) by applying a high voltage thereto. The electrostatic atomizing device (10) also comprises a humidifying section (31) that increases the absolute humidity of the environment, in which electrostatic atomization is carried out, using the water content in the air.</p>
