本文主要為作者操作氮氣及脫氧劑之低氧除蟲經驗，分享給有意規劃與操作低氧除蟲者，或於材料仍有不熟悉部分之操作者，因此不再贅述基本除蟲原理。文章主要分為低氧除蟲的通用原則、氮氣除蟲與脫氧劑除蟲3個段落，分別說明影響除蟲效果的環境條件，氮氣與脫氧劑兩類材料設備的操作注意事項。

The aim of this article is to share information about anoxic pest control methods in museums, such as the use of nitrogen gas and oxygen absorbers, based on the author's experience, with those who intend to implement or who are implementing anoxic pest control methods or who have some unfamiliarity with these methods. Therefore, basic pest control principles are not described in detail. This article is divided into three sections, principles of use of anoxic pest control methods, nitrogen gas, and oxygen absorbers, to explain the environmental conditions that influence the effectiveness of pest control methods and to provide tips and precautions for working with nitrogen gas and oxygen absorbers, as well as their associated materials and equipment.
