Decontamination of 2-Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide on the surface by atmospheric pressure plasma jet

Atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) were used to decontaminate the surface’s 2-Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES), a kind of sulfur mustard (HD) simulant. The power of the APPJ device didn’t exceed 7.77 W. Helium APPJ was easier to generate plasma jet than argon APPJ. The treated nude mouse skin surface’s temperature slowly reached 30.4 °C and no obvious lesions in the dermis and skin appendages after 15 min treatment. Compared with argon...
