In this study, the formation of nanoparticles by a reaction of ozone with the volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emitted from a commercial home cleaner liquid was investigated using a $1-m^3$ reaction chamber($1{\times}1{\times}1m$). The home cleaner liquid was found to contain many VOCs, particularly terpenes. Some of these VOCs are known to readily react with ozone, forming indoor secondary pollutants. The correlation of particle concentration and reacted ozone concentration was examined with injections of three different ozone concentrations; 50, 100 and 200 ppb. The secondary nanoparticles were formed faster, with their numbers and mass concentrations becoming higher on increasing the concentration of ozone injected.

The electrostatic precipitator(ESP) is a device for removing particulate pollutants in the form of either a solid (dust or fumes) or a liquid (mist) from a gas using an electrostatic force, Electrostatic precipitation has been widely used for cleaning gas from almost all industrial processes with a medium to large gas volume(>2,000 $m^3/min$), including utility boilers, blast furnaces, and cement kilns. ESP is also in wide use for air cleaning in living environments (home, offices, hospitals, etc.) ESP has large advantages over other particulate control device : a low operating cost, a high collection performance, and ease of maintenance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the smoke removal of an air cleaner by adjusting variable frequency and monitoring of turbidity three results of this research are as follows ;the first is the best efficient switching frequency which is 60Hz, the second is the smoke removal time which is obtained to 9 seconds, third is that the best efficient firing angle is $90^{\circ}$ As a result, the switching trigger frequency and SCR gate firing angle is very important factor to predict the best collection efficiency.
