Numerical modelling of atmospheric pressure gas discharges leading to plasma production (2005, background): “Biological decontamination [28,29] and sterilization [30] as well as novel diffuse discharges for biological and medical purposes have also been reported recently in the literature [1].”
The resistive barrier discharge (2002, background): “ONTHERMAL plasmas have recently received increased attention because of their use in several emerging novel applications such as excimer light sources, the surface modifications of polymers, and the biological and chemical decontamination of media [1]‐[ 5 ].”
Atmospheric-pressure plasma technology (2004, methodology): “Also, biomedical applications and processes such as plasma sterilization and surface decontamination are under investigation (Birmingham and Hammerstrom 2000, Laroussi et al 2000, Laroussi 2002).”
Nonthermal decontamination of biological media by atmospheric-pressure plasmas: review, analysis, and prospects (2002, background): “Kelly-Wintenberg et al. [16] (DBD-type, direct exposure) for S. aureus and E.coli on polypropylene samples, and by Laroussi et al. [ 12 ] for Pseudomonas aeruginosain liquid suspension.”
