The controlled generation of vapors and/or aerosols from liquids is accomplished by applying a regulated, DC voltage to a wicklike, porous emitter or generator assembly which is supplied with the desired liquid to be vaporized. An electrostatic charge is applied to the liquid by means of an electrode positioned in contact with the wick assembly and connected to the DC power supply. The wick assembly includes a porous, capillary material, such as braided fibers, through which the liquid passes to exposed, vapor-emitting fiber tips. The environment in a room, enclosed spaced of any kind, or a building may be aromatically conditioned and/or have its quality modified and enhanced by using a selected liquid conditioning substance such as an aromatic oil, deodorant, disinfectant, fumigant, fungicide, insecticide, or bactericide. Charged, conditioning vapors may be discharged into the circulating air of a building air conditioning system by mounting an emitter assembly within an air handling duct, directly in the moving air stream.
