In particular, bus stops, where people often stay for public transportation, generate high concentrations of particulate matter compared to the general atmosphere. In this study, a non-powered type brush filter that generates electrostatic force without using a separate power source was developed to manage the concentration of particulate matter exposed at bus stops, and the removal performance of particulate matter was evaluated. The dust collection performance of the non-motorized brush filter varied by material, with particle removal efficiencies of 82.1 \u00b1 3.4, 76.1 \u00b1 4.7, and 73.7 \u00b1 4.5% for horse hair, nylon, and stainless steel, respectively. In conditions without the fan running to see the effect of airflow, the particle removal efficiency was relatively low at 58.2 \u00b1 8.4, 53.6 \u00b1 9.2, and 58.0 \u00b1 7.3%. Then, to check the dust collection performance according to the density, the number of brushes was increased to densify the density, and the horse hair, nylon, and stainless steel brush filters showed a maximum dust collection performance of 89.6 \u00b1 2.2, 88.3 \u00b1 3.2, and 82.1 \u00b1 3.8%, respectively. To determine the replacement cycle of the non-powered brush filter, the particulate removal performance was initially 88.0 \u00b1 3.2% when five horse hair brushes were used. Over time, particulate matter tended to gradually decrease, but after a period of time, particulate matter tended to increase again. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the particulate matter removal performance using a brush filter that generates electrostatic force without a separate power source. This study\u2019s brush filter is expected to solve the maintenance problems caused by the purchase and frequent replacement of expensive HEPA filters that occur with existing abatement devices, and the ozone problems caused by abatement devices that use high voltages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics11110891","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]],"date-time":"2023-10-30T13:26:55Z","timestamp":1698672415000},"page":"891","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Removal of Particulate Matter by a Non-Powered Brush Filter Using Electrostatic Forces"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jaeseok","family":"Heo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environment Research Institute, Ajou University, Suwon City 16499, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0654-0123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jooyeon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Transportation Environmental Research, Korea Railroad Research Institute, Uiwang City 16105, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minyoung","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Engineering, Inha University, Incheon City 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5871-2049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Duckshin","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Transportation Environmental Research, Korea Railroad Research Institute, Uiwang City 16105, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1753","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199312093292401","article-title":"An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities","volume":"329","author":"Dockery","year":"1993","journal-title":"N.
