1. An air-permeable filtration media comprising:
- an air-permeable backing; and
a plurality of adsorbent elements applied to, and partially or substantially embedded within, the air-permeable backing, at least a portion of the adsorbent elements having an average size of about 1 micron or less across,wherein the application of the plurality of adsorbent elements to the air-permeable backing provides an enhanced electrostatic filtration charge.
