The invention discloses an air quality detection method. The method comprises the following steps: opening a cover and pouring cleaning liquid, so that the cleaning liquid flows to the connecting pipefrom the cover and then is sprayed to the whole gas storage tank by the spraying head for cleaning the gas storage tank, and the sewage flows out of the water outlet pipe and drips into the water tank; then pushing a piston to reach the bottom of the collecting box by using a T-shaped pull rod to connect an input pipe and an output pipe, closing a valve on an air outlet pipe and opening a valve on an air outlet pipeline, and starting a vacuum air pump to extract residual air in the air storage box; closing all valves, turning on a knob cover on the air suction pipe, pushing a T-shaped pull rod to pull upwards to drive a piston, so that the air enters a collecting box; covering the knob cover on the air suction pipe, opening the valve on the air outlet pipe, and downwardly pushing the T-shaped pull rod, so that air enters the air storage box from the air outlet pipe and is communicated with the input pipe and the output pipe on the detector. According to the method, through cooperativeuse of the solution tank, the cover, the water outlet pipeline, the connecting pipe and the spraying head, spraying, impurity removing and cleaning are conducted on the gas storage tank, the influence on next gas collection is reduced, the working efficiency can be improved, and detected and analyzed data are more accurate.
