An air filtration system having a housing. The housing has an inlet, a frame unit, a filter unit, and an outlet. A fan is positioned in the air filtration system or not, and pulls or pushes air into the inlet, and through the outlet, and has the air pass through the filter unit. The filter unit has a first and a second expanded metal metallic plate. The first plate has a first plurality of apertures, and the second plate a second plurality of apertures. Each plate has a coated layer of a dielectric conducting and antimicrobial agent polymer material. The frame unit secures the first expanded metal metallic plate at a first position in the housing, the second expanded metal metallic plate at a second position in the housing, and ensures, when the first and second expanded metal metallic plates are securely positioned in the housing, that the first expanded metal metallic plate is adjacent to the second expanded metal metallic plate and wherein a portion of the first expanded metal metallic plate contacts or is within 20 millimeters from the second expanded metal metallic plate and each aperture of the second plurality of apertures misaligns with an aperture of the first plurality of apertures.
