Abstract
An air purification unit is provided for individuals seated at a table that has a unit body adapted to be mounted at a mounting height at or above the approximate head height of individuals seated at the table, and in a position between the individuals. A motorized fan system is provided within the unit body that is configured to draw air from at least one inlet proximate the bottom of the unit body. A filter is positioned in communication with the inlet and the fan system for filtering air drawn through the inlet. The unit body has at least two ducted outlets disposed radially or axially for discharging filtered air toward the individuals, while the unit prevents cross-flow of breath air between the individuals.
