title: Combined effects of long-living chemical species during microbial inactivation using atmospheric plasma-treated water.
abstract: Electrical discharges in humid air at atmospheric pressure (nonthermal quenched plasma) generate long-lived chemical species in water that are efficient for microbial decontamination. The major role of nitrites was evidenced together with a synergistic effect of nitrates and H(2)O(2) and matching acidification. Other possible active compounds are considered, e.g., peroxynitrous acid.
