In this study, rapid inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) by surface micro-discharge (SMD)
plasma is studied by comparing the inactivation effects in air with and without water droplets …

The main bactericidal components of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) are thought to be
reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and UV-radiation, both of which have the …
