Abstract: An air filtering shelter 100 comprising a shelter frame 110 comprising a plurality of frame members 112 defining a sheltered area 102. Filter media 120 extends across the plurality of frame members 112, where the filter media 120 is disposed over the sheltered area 102. An airflow guide 130 extends across the plurality of frame members 112 between the sheltered area 102 and the filter media 120. The airflow guide 130 is impermeable and the filter media 120 and the airflow guide 130 define an airflow channel 125 between them. An airflow generator 140-1 is coupled to the shelter frame 110. The airflow generator 140-1 has an inlet 142 in the airflow channel 125 and an outlet 144 in the sheltered area 102.
