<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To selectively generate particles having oxidation action and reduction action. <P>SOLUTION: An apparatus for generating oxidation and reduction fine particles includes an atomization electrode 1, a water supply means 2 for supplying water to the atomization electrode 1, and a high voltage application means 3. The apparatus includes an oxidation mode for electrostatically atomizing water to be supplied to the atomization electrode 1 to generate negatively-charged fine water particles containing radicals by applying high voltage, and a reduction mode for generating fine particles having a reduction action from the surface of the atomization electrode 1 by performing spark by applying high voltage without supplying water to the atomization electrode 1. The oxidation mode and the reduction is switchable by the switching means 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
