Abstract

Normal saline is a common biological solution which provides much better living environment for Staphylococcus aureus than deionized water, but the plasma-activated normal saline is found to have a stronger bactericidal effect than the plasma-activated deionized water. A model is developed for the explanation, from which various kinds of reactive chlorine/oxy-chlorine species (RCS), such as HClO, are found to be generated in the plasma-activated normal saline. The production pathways of RCS are elucidated, in which O₃ plays as an important intermediate species. Compared to the plasma-activated deionized water, the concentrations of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species are lower, but the bactericidal effect is higher, implying that the RCS play a crucial role for the sterilization.
