A gas processing method characterized by generating a low-temperature plasma in the presence of a metal oxide oxidation catalyst and a gas processing apparatus characterized by comprising a low-temperature plasma generation unit holding a metal oxide oxidation catalyst are disclosed. With these gas processing method and gas processing apparatus, harmful components (such as carbon monoxide or volatile organic compounds) in a gas to be processed are highly efficiently oxidized and made harmless, and a foul odor is eliminated. In addition, the processed gas contains no or fewer microorganisms. |
