Claim 0:
1. A personal air space cleaner for use with an electrically conductive lanyard that is worn about a human neck to clean air of particulate pollutants, comprising:
a wearable housing;
an electronic circuit that is powered by battery power and that provides both ground potential and an excitation potential;
an ion emitter connected to said electronic circuit that is excited to emit ions when it is energized at said excitation potential;
a resiliently biased electrically conductive jaw member attached to said wearable housing that is operative to resiliently open so as to receive said electrically conductive lanyard within said resiliently open jaw member and that is operative to resiliently close so as to mechanically capture said electrically conductive lanyard within said resiliently closed jaw member;
wherein said resiliently biased electrically conductive jaw member is connected to said ground potential and is cooperative with said electrically conductive lanyard to establish said neck at said ground potential when said electrically conductive lanyard is captured in said resiliently biased jaw member.
