15. An electronic device comprising:
a) a housing having an interior gas space;
b) one or more electronic components disposed within the housing;
c) a composition that can actively generate a gaseous oxidizing agent component; and
d) a generating device configured to actively cause the composition to generate the gaseous oxidizing agent component, wherein the generating device comprises one or more heating elements in thermal contact with the composition, wherein the one or more heating elements are in electrical communication with a power source that is configured to apply power to the one or more heating elements in an on/off manner according to a predetermined time interval to heat the composition to a temperature that causes the composition to decompose to generate the gaseous oxidizing agent component.
