“…The removal efficiencies increased to 75% and 80% for boscalid and imidacloprid respectively, at 80 kV for 5 min of plasma treatment. Similar results were observed for the degradation of pesticides in water and on strawberries (N. Misra, S. K. Pankaj, et al, 2014;Sarangapani, Misra, et al, 2016) (Dojčinović, et al, 2011) which undergo several chain reactions to form metastables including ozone and hydrogen peroxide which have been identified as key species in the degradation of pesticides (N. N. Misra, Keener, Bourke, & Cullen, 2015;N.N. Misra, Ziuzina, Cullen, & Keener, 2013;Moiseev, et al, 2014;Sarangapani, Misra, et al, 2016).…”
