The present invention mainly addresses the problem of providing: a novel bromine-free adsorbent which exhibits excellent adsorption performance of a neutral odorous substance and a method for adsorbing an odorous substance using this adsorbent. Provided, as a means for solving the above-described problem, is an adsorbent which is characterized by being obtained by having a peroxosulfate salt adhered to a porous carrier.本發明的主要課題為提供一種吸附劑以及使用了該吸附劑之臭味物質的吸附方法,該吸附劑為不含溴的新穎吸附劑,且對中性臭味物質的吸附性能優異。作為該課題之解決手段,所提供的吸附劑的特徵在於,其是使過氧硫酸鹽添附到多孔質載體上而形成。
