Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separate scattered toner particles from an air containing ozone without using a toner filter.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 1 comprises: an image forming part 40 that forms images on a sheet; an air storage part 82 that stores an air present on the periphery of the image forming part 40 and including ozone generated during image formation performed by the image forming part 40 and toner particles scattered during the image formation; and heating parts (heating part 83, pressure application and convection part 84) that heat the air so that the toner particles included in the air inside the air storage part 82 are fused and coupled to each other and fall.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】トナーフィルターを用いることなく、オゾンを含む空気から飛散トナーを分離すること。【解決手段】画像形成装置１は、用紙に画像を形成する画像形成部４０と、画像形成部４０の周辺に存在し、画像形成部４０による画像形成時に発生したオゾン及び画像形成時に飛散したトナーが含まれる空気を収容する空気収容部８２と、空気収容部８２内の空気に含まれるトナー同士が溶融結合して落下するように、空気を加熱する加熱部（加熱部８３、加圧・対流部８４）と、を備える。【選択図】図３
