1. A chlorine dioxide gas generating system comprising:
an activator comprising a power source;
a chlorine dioxide gas generating device comprising an anode, a cathode, a housing having a cavity, and a first hydrophobic membrane coupled to the housing, the chlorine dioxide gas generating device being configured to generate chlorine dioxide gas in an on-demand manner responsive to an electric current being passed into the anode and the cathode from the power source; and
a dispensing container in fluid communication with the chlorine dioxide gas generating device, the dispensing container being configured to receive the chlorine dioxide gas after the chlorine dioxide gas has exited the chlorine dioxide gas generating device,
wherein the dispensing container comprises a body and a second hydrophobic membrane coupled to the body; and
wherein the second hydrophobic membrane of the dispensing container is configured to receive the chlorine dioxide gas from the chlorine dioxide gas generating device therethrough after the chlorine dioxide gas has passed through the first hydrophobic membrane.
