Continuous Inactivation of E. coli by Liquid Phase Plasma Discharge
Water pollution can cause bacteria and viruses to multiply and spread, endangering human health. The prevalence of diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and avian flu are the consequences of water pollution. Due to its potential health threats, there is an urgent need to develop effective and low-cos...
