Decontamination of surface borne bacteria by ionized antimicrobial vapours
A cold plasma discharge, such as a corona discharge generates biologically reactive ionized species that are lethal to a range of microorganisms. A number of workers have reported log number reductions in bacteria seeded onto solid surfaces, fabrics and agar media when in close proximity to the ions...
