The device was set up in the closed space of a desiccator (about 109 liters), and the test odor gas was added until the gas concentration reached the specified value. The device was operated at room temperature, and the gas concentration in the desiccator was measured by using the gas detection tube at 0, 10, 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes.

The device was set up in 25 m3 (about a 6-tatami sized room) of the closed test space, emulsion of the bacteria was sprayed for 15 minutes while running the agitating fan, the air was agitated for 2 minutes, and then airborne bacteria were initially (0 minutes) collected from the test space. Then, the bacteria were collected for each specified time, and the airborne bacteria count was obtained.
