1. A filter device for ambient air filtration, the filter device comprising:
a blower housing comprising an air inlet and an air outlet;
a device configured to generate an air flow arranged in the blower housing, wherein the device configured to generate an air flow generates an air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet in operation;
a flexible air conducting hose comprising a first open end configured to be connected to the air outlet of the blower housing and further comprising a second closed end;
wherein the flexible air conducting hose comprises one or more openings arranged between the first open end and the second closed end;
