Applications of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Technology in Medicine, Agriculture and Food Industry

In recent years, cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) technology has received substantial attention due to its valuable properties including operational simplicity, low running cost, and environmental friendliness. Several different gases (air, nitrogen, helium, argon) techniques (corona discharge, dielectric barrier jet) can be used generate at temperature. Plasma treatment is routinely in materials science modify the surface (e.g., wettability, chemical composition, adhesion) of a wide range polymers, textiles, metals, glasses). Moreover, CAPP seems powerful tool for inactivation various pathogens bacteria, fungi, viruses) food industry packing material decontamination, shelf life extension), agriculture disinfection seeds, fertilizer, water, soil) medicine sterilization medical equipment, implants). also holds great promise direct therapeutic treatments dentistry (tooth bleaching), dermatology (atopic eczema, wound healing) oncology (melanoma, glioblastoma). Overall, an innovative, effective offering broad application potential. However, limitations negative impacts need determined order receive regulatory approval consumer acceptance.
