in air or in a gaseous fluid comprises an elimination chamber (3) with an inlet (4)
and an outlet (5), means (6) for generating a gaseous flow through the elimination
chamber, means (7) for electrostatically charging the polluting particulate material
at the inlet of the chamber, at least one pair of opposite electrodes (10, 11; 12,
