Provided is a device for generating chlorine dioxide which has been miniaturized so that a chlorine dioxide source can be carried and which has no fear of liquid leakage and can be continuously used. A cartridge (28) having a chemical-holding space (29) in which a granular chlorite is held, a fan (24), and ultraviolet LED lamps (32) have been disposed within a device main body (12) which can be separated into two or more detachable portions. The cartridge (28) has light-transmitting properties and has a structure which enables air to pass through the chemical-holding space (29) and the inside of the device main body (12). When the fan (24) works, air is discharged from the inside of the device main body (12) and, simultaneously therewith, air comes in from the outside of the device main body (12). By the action of ultraviolet rays, chlorine dioxide gas is generated from the chlorite present in the cartridge (28). By the operation of the fan (24), the gas is discharged from the inside of the device main body (12) through air discharge ports (22).
