“…Coronas can be operated in dc or pulsed mode, where the pointed electrode can have a negative or positive potential. Usually, negative dc corona discharges are used for microbial inactivation although microbial inactivation has also been shown for different pulsed modes (Cramariuc et al 2008). Scholtz et al (2010) studied the microbicidal effect of a negative dc corona in ambient air using a pin-to-plate geometry (see figure 2(a)).…”

To cite this version:J EhlbeckAbstract. The aim of this article is to provide a survey of plasma sources at atmospheric pressure used for microbicidal treatment. In order to consider the interdisciplinary character of this topic an introduction and definition of basic terms and procedures is given for plasma as well as for microbicidal issues. The list of plasma sources makes no claim to be complete, but to represent the main principles of plasma generation at atmospheric pressure and to give an example of their microbicidal efficiency. The interpretation of the microbicidal results remain difficult due to the non standardized methods uses by different authors and due to the fact that small variations in the set up can change the results dramatically.
