ABSTRACT:
An image formation apparatus includes an image bearing member which is capable of forming a latent electrostatic image thereon, a contact charging member which charges a surface of the image bearing member with the application of electric charges thereto, with the image bearing member and the charging member being in rotation contact, and a non-ozone-generating gas supply device for supplying a non-ozone-generating gas to a chargeable space which extends from a contact position of the contact charging member with the image bearing member and is positioned between (a) a surface of the contact charging memeber and (b) a surface of the image bearing member, with the surfaces facing each other, on an upstream side of the contact position with respect to a rotating direction of the contact charging member, the non-ozone-generating gas being capable of hindering the generation of ozone which is generated in the course of the application of electric charges to the surface of the image bearing member by the contact charging member.
