Exploration of New Use Cases of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Medicine, Surface Decontamination and Astronautics — •Alisa Schmidt and Markus H. Thoma — Justus-Liebig-Universität, Gießen, Deutschland

Wound healing, the corona pandemic and manned spaceflight - how can a connection be drawn between all these different areas via physics?

All of these three areas have their own problems: the healing of chronic wounds, for example, can be inhibited by wound healing disorders and infections, in the corona pandemic there were supply shortages of protective equipment and respiratory masks - which led to the reusability of protective equipment becoming a subject of discussion - and finally manned space flight, according to NASA, aims to bring humans to the moon again in 2025 and even fly them to Mars by 2040 - however, there is the problem of keeping the closed life support systems on space vehicles and future lunar or even planetary stations clean.

We have approached these problems with a common solution approach - treatment with physical cold atmospheric plasma. Experimental design and results will be presented in this contribution.
