Zusammenfassung:An image forming apparatus includes: a charging section (414b) configured to charge a surface of an image bearing member (413); an air-intake duct (520) having an air-supply port (522), and configured to guide air sucked from an outside to the charging section (414b) through the air-supply port (522); an exhaust duct (530) having an air-intake port (532), and configured to suck air around the charging section (414b) through the air-intake port (532) and eject the air thus sucked. The air-intake duct (520) has a configuration in which air guided to the charging section (414b) through the air-supply port (522) flows in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the charging section (414b), or flows toward a center of the charging section (414b) in the longitudinal direction.
