Claim:
A portable air filtration system for filtering air, said filtration system comprising: a filter housing including an air inlet and an air outlet and defining a filtration chamber between said air inlet and said air outlet; an intake fan disposed within said filter housing for moving the air trough said filtration chamber by drawing the air in through said air inlet and dispelling the air out through said air outlet; an ionizing mechanism disposed between said intake fan and said air outlet for ionizing particles within the air to a negative charge; a filter media disposed between said ionizing mechanism and said air outlet for entrapping the particles; and an electrode disposed between said ionizing mechanism and said filter media to establish an electric field between said ionizing mechanism and said electrode adjacent to said filter media, wherein said electrode is electrically-connected to ground and to said filter media for dissipating the negative charge of the particles entrapped within said filter media.
