In the present invention, an ozone generator can be added near the outlet of the gas generator 4.
Thereby, sterilization can be further enhanced. Further, in the present invention, it is possible to combine an adsorbing means for adsorbing the chlorine dioxide component in the exhaust gas after passing the sterilizing / deodorizing gas through the container 3 containing the object to be sterilized and deodorized. As a result, the chlorine dioxide component is not released to the outside, and there is no need to worry about contamination of the installation atmosphere.
