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.

Tooth bleaching with nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the improvement in tooth bleaching induced by plasma is due to the removal of tooth surface proteins and to increased *OH production.

Characterization of the effluent of a He/O 2 microscale atmospheric pressure plasma jet by quantitative molecular beam mass spectrometry

TL;DR: In this article, the effluent of a microscale atmospheric pressure plasma jet (μ-APPJ) operated in helium with a small admixture of molecular oxygen (<1.6%) has been analyzed by means of two independent diagnostics, quantitative molecular beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) and two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TALIF).
