For first time, we examined effect on-times in this study while keeping duty ratio and treatment time fixed. We have evaluated electrical, optical, soft jet properties two different ratios 10% 36%, using 25, 50, 75, 100 ms. Furthermore, influence on-time on reactive oxygen nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) levels treated medium (PTM) was also investigated. Following treatment, characteristics (DMEM media) PTM (pH, EC, ORP) were examined. While EC ORP rose by raising on-time, pH remained unchanged. Finally, used to observe cell viability ATP U87-MG brain cancer cells. found it interesting that, increasing ROS/RNS dramatically increased significantly affected line.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been responsible for the initiation of global pandemic since 2020. The virus spreads through contaminated air particles, fomite, and surface-contaminated porous (i.e., paper, wood, masks) non-porous plastic, stainless steel, glass) materials. persistence viruses on materials depends porosity, adsorption, evaporation, isoelectric point, environmental conditions, such as temperature, pH, relative humidity. Disinfection techniques are crucial preventing viral contamination animated inanimate surfaces. Currently, there few effective methodologies SARS-CoV-2 other coronaviruses without any side effects. Before infection can occur, measures must be taken to prevent coronavirus surfaces both This review focuses in surface (inanimate) control measures. Viruses inactivated chemical physical methods; methods particularly include alcohol, chlorine, peroxide, whereas humidity, ultraviolet irradiation (UV), gamma radiation, X-rays, ozone, non-thermal, plasma-generated reactive oxygen nitrogen species (RONS) methods.
