Cold atmospheric plasma activated water as a prospective disinfectant: the crucial role of peroxynitrite

TL;DR: This research successfully demonstrated the possibility of PAW being an effective environmentally benign disinfectant, the activity of which is closely linked to the generation of peroxynitrite, providing much needed insights into the fundamental aspects ofPAW chemistry required for optimisation of the biochemical activity of PAw and translation of this decontamination strategy into real life applications.

Plasma-activated water: generation, origin of reactive species and biological applications

TL;DR: This review presents a succinct review of how novel, efficient methods based on non-equilibrium reactive plasma chemistries can be applied to low-cost natural water sources to produce a prospective product with a wide range of applications while at the same time minimising the process steps and dramatically reducing the use of expensive and/or hazardous reagents.

Plasma‐Induced Death of HepG2 Cancer Cells: Intracellular Effects of Reactive Species

TL;DR: The mechanism of death of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) induced by atmospheric-pressure room-temperature plasma, related to the plasma-controlled intracellular concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid peroxide is revealed.

Hydrogen peroxide: A central player in physical plasma-induced oxidative stress in human blood cells.

TL;DR: Human blood cells were investigated after cold atmospheric plasma treatment with regard to oxidation and viability and the responses were similar in cells treated with concentration-matched H2O2 and the results will help to clarify how oxidative stress associates with physical plasma treatment in wound relevant cells.

Investigation of discharge mechanisms in helium plasma jet at atmospheric pressure by laser spectroscopic measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured spatiotemporal structures of excited species by laser spectroscopic methods in a plasma jet, which was driven by a bipolar impulse voltage pulse train of the order of kilohertz repetition rate applied across a pair of electrodes wrapped around a glass tube with a helium gas flow.

Laser scattering on an atmospheric pressure plasma jet: disentangling Rayleigh, Raman and Thomson scattering

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laser scattering on an argon atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet operating in an air environment to determine profiles of the electron temperature, electron density, gas temperature, partial air pressure and the N2/O2 ratio with a spatial resolution of 50 µm.

An historical overview of cavity-enhanced methods

TL;DR: An overview of laser-based, spectroscopic methods that employ high-finesse optical resonators is presented in this paper, starting with the early work in atomic absorption (1962) and optica...
