Claim 3:
4. A personal air space cleaner for use with an article of clothing worn by a human body to clean air of particulate pollutants, comprising:
a wearable housing;
an electronic circuit that is powered by battery power and that provides both a 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;
first and second members mounted to said wearable housing;
wherein said first member mounted to said wearable housing is a resiliently biased jaw member that is operative to resiliently open so as to receive said article of clothing in the resiliently biased jaw member and that is operative to resiliently close so as to mechanically capture said article of clothing therewithin; and
wherein said second member is an electrically conductive second electrode member configured for contact with said human body that is connected to said ground potential and cooperative with said first resiliently biased jaw member to establish said human body at said ground potential when said article of clothing is captured in said resiliently biased jaw member.
