A method for atomizing active substances contained in a liquid, where: the method uses electrohydrodynamic means with at least one nozzle and at least one electrode, the nozzle and the electrode being formed and/or arranged in such a way and a voltage that is applied to the electrode being selected in such a way that a molecularization of the active substances contained in the liquid takes place and parasitic effects and/or disturbing influences that occur during the atomization, and in particular production of ozone, are reduced to the greatest extent. A nozzle for use in the method, where: an outer capillary tube of nonconducting material and an electrode in wire form arranged in the capillary tube, wherein the capillary tube and/or the electrode are formed and/or arranged in such a way that, during operation of the nozzle and atomization of the active substances contained in the liquid, the electrode is constantly wetted and no oxygen from the ambient air has contact with the surface of the electrode. A device for atomizing active substances contained in a liquid, where: a first, outer nozzle, inside which a second, inner nozzle is arranged, and means for producing an air stream in the first, outer nozzle, so that a liquid atomized by the inner nozzle is discharged into the ambience from the outer nozzle, it being possible for the device to interact with a device for separating a space into an active-substance area.
