Abstract

Plasma treated water was prepared by non-thermal plasma systems using plasma interaction above or inside liquid or in a remote bubbling regime. Plasma treated water prepared from distilled, tap or water solutions was characterised by physical properties (pH, conductivity) and colorimetric determination of stable chemical species (hydrogen peroxide, nitrites, and nitrates). Its quality was evaluated with respect to its possible utilization in sustainable agriculture and medicine applications.
