Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus inside of whose housing volatile chemical substances are generated, the electronic apparatus comprising: a volatile chemical substance catching section, provided inside of the housing, which generates an electric field in an atmosphere, which attracts the volatile chemical substances contained in the atmosphere thereto by the action of the electric field, and which catches the volatile chemical substances, the volatile chemical substance catching section comprising: a first electrode that is affixed to a flat inner surface of an exhaust duct of the electronic apparatus; a second electrode disposed at a distance from the first electrode, the second electrode being positioned in the exhaust duct so as to squarely receive main air currents flowing through the exhaust duct; and a power supply that applies the same voltage to the first and second electrodes, wherein the volatile chemical substance catching section operates using only a single polarity voltage.
