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.

Absolute atomic oxygen density distributions in the effluent of a microscale atmospheric pressure plasma jet

TL;DR: The coplanar microscale atmospheric pressure plasma jet (μ-APPJ) is a capacitively coupled radio frequency discharge (13.56 MHz, ~15 W rf power) designed for optimized optical diagnostic access as discussed by the authors.

Effect of atmospheric gas plasmas on cancer cell signaling.

TL;DR: A review of the current literature suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by AGP induce death of cancer cells by impairing the function of intracellular regulatory factors as mentioned in this paper.

Electron density measurement in atmospheric pressure plasma jets: Stark broadening of hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated lines

TL;DR: In this article, the application of the Stark broadening method to determine the electron density in low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma jets is discussed and the difficulty in the evaluation of the fine structure splitting of lines, which is important at low electron density, is analysed and recommendations on the applicability of the method for low ionization degree plasmas are given.

Raman/Rayleigh/LIF measurements of nitric oxide formation in turbulent hydrogen jet flames

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the combination of spontaneous Raman scattering, Rayleigh scattering, and laser-induced fluorescence to obtain simultaneous, time-resolved measurements of NO, major species, mixture fraction, temperature, and OH in nonpremixed turbulent hydrogen jet flames.

Reactive Oxygen Species in a Non-thermal Plasma Microjet and Water System: Generation, Conversion, and Contributions to Bacteria Inactivation—An Analysis by Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy†

TL;DR: In this paper, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy was used to detect singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) in a direct current He/O2 (2%) non-thermal plasma microjet-water system.
