An electrostatic system developed by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist Bailey Mitchell was originally designed to transfer a strong negative charge to dust and microorganisms in an enclosed space and to collect the charged particles on grounded plates or on surfaces of a poultry house. Biolon, Inc., of Athens, Georgia, collaborated with Mitchell and holds the exclusive license to manufacture and market the technology.

Since the initial studies in the early 19...
