Abstract

An image formation apparatus including a latent electrostatic image formation unit for forming on a latent-electrostatic-image-bearable photoconductive member a latent electrostatic image corresponding to an original image; a development unit for developing the latent electrostatic image into a visible toner image with a developer; an image-transfer unit for transferring the visible toner image from the photoconductive member to a transfer sheet; an image-fixing unit for fixing the visible toner image to the transfer sheet, including an image fixing roller, the surface of which is coated with a release agent comprising a silicone oil; a solvent mist generation unit for generating a solvent mist; and an ozone decomposing unit for trapping and decomposing ozone generated in the image formation apparatus by mixing the ozone with the solvent mist.
