title: DNA strand scission induced by a non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet.
abstract: The DNA molecule is observed to be very susceptible to short-term exposures to an atmospheric pressure plasma jet. The DNA damage induced by plasma-generated species, i.e. excited atoms, charged particles, electrons and UV light is determined.
