<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air purifier provided with a function of decomposing odors and stains stuck to a surface without using an ultraviolet irradiation means. <P>SOLUTION: In the air purifier, visible light responsive photocatalyst powder, which is tungsten oxide photocatalyst powder having such a color that a* is ≤-5, b* is ≥-5 and L* is ≥50 when expressed by the L*a*b* color system, is applied to at least a part of an exterior base material surface. Also, by installing a light source, the odors and the stains can be decomposed even at night. A light emitting diode is preferable for the light source. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
