An electrostatic air filter comprising: a housing, air inlet means and air outlet means in the housing, wall means connecting said air inlet means and said air outlet means and defining an airflow path, said airflow path being substantially Y-shaped in vertical cross-section having a stem portion and a pair of diverging arms ascending from said stem portion, air transfer means located in the stem portion of said Y-shaped cross-section part of said air flow-path for causing air to flow through the housing from the inlet means to the outlet means along said airflow path, air ionizing means for generating and introducing charged ions into the throughflowing air, said air ionizing means located along a first side of each of said diverging arms, said air ionizing means comprising: support structure attached along one side of the wall means defining said airflow path from said stem portion to said outlet means, electro needles extending from said support structure into said airflow path, a disposable, electrostatically chargeable air filter mat means located along a side opposite said first side of said diverging arms on said wall means spaced apart from and substantially oppositely disposed to said electro needles on a side opposite to the one side, the path for the ions being transverse to said airflow path, and said main airflow path being constructed and arranged such that through both of said divergent arms it is substantially clear of obstructions and extending in a straight line from said air transfer means to said outlet means without substantially intersecting either said air filter mat means or said electro needles so that said dust particles in said airflow path are ionized by ions produced by said needles and attracted to said oppositely charged air filter mat means as said air flows past said mat means from the air transfer means to the outlet means.
