Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations of the action on biological objects of high pressure (~1 atm) air excited in a discharge chamber. E. Coli and Staphylococcus bacteria in concentrations of -10⁵ cm³ were used for the biological cultures and Aspergillus and Penicilium were used with the granular substances. Bactericidal properties were observed up to 80 mm from the nearest electrode of the glow discharge device
