A method for improving indoor air quality in a room, comprising drawing air from the room and guiding the air into a gas/liquid contactor charged with aqueous alkali hydroxide/H.sub.2O.sub.2 solution, passing the air through a perforated membrane installed in the gas/liquid contactor below the surface level of the aqueous alkali hydroxide/H.sub.2O.sub.2 solution, such that bubbles produced travel through said solution, and getting treated air with improved quality from said gas/liquid contactor, said treated air is characterized by having: reduced carbon dioxide levels; and/or reduced VOC levels; and/or reduced microbiological load. An air purifier to carry out the method is also provided.

A clothes dryer using an LED light source is proposed. Instead of using a heater, a blowing fan, and a heat exchanger, the clothes dryer employs a plurality of LED light source modules provided in a body and efficiently arranged therein and an air circulation structure of an air circulation part having a blowing fan arranged in the inner rear side thereof, and is configured to sterilize air through an air sterilization part, absorb and dry moisture by a ceramic filter, and then finally discharge the air to the outside through an exhaust fan. Therefore, without requiring a separate water discharge treatment process in an existing method, the clothes dryer can achieve efficient drying of clothes and drying of clothes without damage.
