“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] The previous works [3][4][5][6][7][8] of the atmospheric pressure plasmas have a very limited treatment of the contaminated air, which is less than 20 l / min. The purpose of the study in the present section is presenting a possibility of eliminating toxic substances in the interior air in isolated spaces such as buildings, public transportation systems, and military vehicles.…”

A comprehensive decontamination scheme of the chemical and biological agents, including airborne agents and surface contaminating agents, is presented. When a chemical and biological attack occurs, it is critical to decontaminate facilities or equipments to an acceptable level in a very short time. The plasma flame presented here may provide a rapid and effective elimination of toxic substances in the interior air in isolated spaces. As an example, a reaction chamber, with the dimensions of a 22cm diameter and 30cm length, purifies air with an airflow rate of 5000l∕min contaminated with toluene, the simulated chemical agent, and soot from a diesel engine, the simulated aerosol for biological agents. Although the airborne agents in an isolated space are eliminated to an acceptable level by the plasma flame, the decontamination of the chemical and biological agents cannot be completed without cleaning surfaces of the facilities. A simulated sterilization study of micro-organisms was carried out using the electrolyzed ozone water. The electrolyzed ozone water very effectively kills endospores of Bacillus atrophaeus (ATCC 9372) within 3min. The electrolyzed ozone water also kills the vegetative micro-organisms, fungi, and virus. The electrolyzed ozone water, after the decontamination process, disintegrates into ordinary water and oxygen without any trace of harmful materials to the environment.

“…For this reason, there has been a plethora of research done on HPG plasmas in the last decade. Many applications of HPG discharges have been reported including etching and deposition [18,19], decontamination of chemical and biological warfare agents [20], the treatment of dental cavities [21], and as a means for sterilization [22,23].…”
