Effects of chemically-reductive trace gas contaminants on non-thermal plasma inactivation of an airborne virus

May 22, 2024

Authors: Herek Clack,

Non-thermal plasma (NTP) inactivates viral aerosols, offering a novel alternative to filters, reducing disease spread. MCIDT Affiliate Herek Clack & team found that trace gases commonly found around livestock such as H2S and NH3 can diminish effectiveness

Key Terms: NTPs, viruses, aerosols
