arrays. Preferably the ?rst array comprises one or more wire

electrodes spaced staggeringly apart from a second array comprising hollow “U”-shaped electrodes. Preferably a ratio between effective area of an electrode in the second array compared to effective area of an electrode in the ?rst array

exceeds about 15:1 and preferably is about 20:1. An electric

?eld produced by the high voltage pulses between the arrays produces an electrostatic ?ow of ionized air containing safe amounts of oZone. A bias electrode, electrically coupled to the second array electrodes, affects net polarity of ions gen erated. The out?ow of ionized air and oZone is thus condi tioned.
