An odor component in an air is deodorized by an ozone generating member in an ozone an ozone generating area formed in a path through which the air flows, the generated ozone is decomposed by an ozone decomposing member in an ozone decomposing area, and a carbon monoxide, generated in, for example, through incomplete combustion, a CO adsorbing area in the path is adsorbed and carried by a CO adsorbing member. The ozone decomposing area and the CO adsorbing area are formed in a common oxidizing reaction area in which the carbon monoxide is oxidized by using active oxygen generated through the ozone decomposing step in the oxidizing reaction area.
