Abstract

Chemical and bactericidal effects induced by plasma in water upon electro-spraying through DC-driven positive transient spark discharge in air were investigated. Inactivation of E. coli was determined in dependence on pH (controlled by buffers) and correlated with chemical changes induced in water. Productions of hydrogen peroxide, nitrites, nitrates, peroxynitrites, and pH changes were determined, and the extent of oxidative stress induced in bacteria was evaluated. The degree of inactivation and oxidative damage of bacteria increased with the increasing acidity of the solution. Acidified nitrites interacting with hydrogen peroxide were determined as the most important bactericidal ROS/RNS agents in plasma-treated water. A possible role of peroxynitrites, ozone, and metal nanoparticles is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
