Abstract
A work station unit for use in an array including at least one work space defined in part by intersecting side walls. The unit comprises an air circulation unit mounted on at least one side wall of the work space, at a location proximate the intersection. An air inlet on the unit draws ambient air into the unit and an air discharge discharges air in a predetermined controlled direction to cooperatively form an envelope of air surrounding a space defined in part by the side walls and in part by air flow out of the discharge and into the air inlet. An individual in the work station is enclosed in air having superior quality to ambient air.

In a work station array including at least one work space defined in part by at least two intersecting side walls, the apparatus comprising:
- an air circulation unit mounted on at least on side wall at a location proximate its intersection with another side wall, said unit having a top and bottom end;
- air inlet means on said unit for drawing ambient air into said unit solely from one end of said unit;
- and
- air discharge means on said unit for discharging air solely from the other end of said unit in a predetermined controlled horizontal direction to cooperatively form an envelope of air surrounding a space defined in part by said side walls and in part by air flow out of said discharge means and into said air inlet means to enclose an individual in said work station in air having superior quality to ambient air without directing air directly on said individual.
