Abstract
An air filtration method and device which more effectively clean the ambient air being fed into a motor vehicle's passenger compartment, via the existing OEM ventilation and heating/air conditioning system. The notion of more conveniently accessible air filtration appliance is set forth with generic variants showing adaptability to differently configured OEM air outlets. The new technique contemplates treating the air instantly as it is being discharged into the passenger compartment, yet remains compatible with existing OEM air filtration provisions, some of which are provided at the cowl inlet, others are located mid stream within the ducting system.
