This invention is a plasma generator that: suppresses generation of ozone, increases the amount of ions and radicals generated, and sufficiently exhibits a deodorizing function and a sterilizing function. The plasma generator: has a pair of electrodes (21, 22) having dielectric films (21a, 22a) provided therein; applies a prescribed voltage between these electrodes (21, 22), and discharges plasma; and is configured such that fluid flow holes (21b, 22b) are provided at locations corresponding to each electrode (21, 22), so as to penetrate same, and plasma is generated only at opening end sections (21x, 22x) that form the fluid flow holes (21b, 22b) between the pair of electrodes (21, 22). |
