The following paper presents some applications of air pollution control. After a brief introduction into recently developed methods different reactor configurations on the basis of dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) are displayed. A preferred system for the treatment of soot comprises a reactor based on dielectric barrier discharge, which combines both plasma and filter techniques. The special DBD‐configuration consists of two electrodes. One is porous and gas‐permeable. The other reactor systems are a surface discharge DBD‐system, deflector arrangement and an ion extraction system. In a first application of these systems the elimination or reduction of odours in the process of fabricating French fries was tested. Examples for the decomposition of vegetable oil and the antimicrobial treatment of air. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
