A document feeder includes a document load tray, a duct, a ventilating section, and an ion generating device. The document load tray is a member for loading thereon a document to be read and has a hole extending therethrough to provide communication between a document load side of the document load tray and a reverse side of the document load tray which is opposite away from the document load side. The duct is placed on the reverse side of the document load tray continuously with the hole. The ventilating section is configured to feed air present outside an image forming apparatus into the duct through an opening of the duct. The ion generating device is disposed within the duct and configured to generate ions for cleaning up the air fed into the duct by the ventilating section.
