In this embodiment, the charged charges are increased by using the electrodes 56 and 59 for the dust collecting / deodorizing filter element 52. However, the dust collecting / deodorizing filter element 52 itself is made of a charged nonwoven fabric. Since the electrodes themselves have electric charges, a sufficient dust collecting effect can be obtained without using these electrodes 56 and 59 and the wire mesh electrode 54. However, the dust collection life of the dust collection / deodorization filter element 52 is shortened due to the small amount of charge, and the replacement period is shortened.

As described above, the air conditioner of the present invention uses a third nonwoven fabric obtained by laminating a charged first nonwoven fabric and a second nonwoven fabric impregnated with a drug containing chlorhexidine gluconate. Thus, an air purifier having a plurality of honeycomb-shaped air passages is formed, so that bacteria such as influenza can be eliminated without increasing the size of the air purifier.
