The decontamination by using atomic nitrogen was already tested on contaminated small surfaces. For the decontamination of larger surfaces, we propose the use of “brushes” with atmospheric pressure molecular nitrogen containing atomic nitrogen. We believe that it can also use as ecological viral disinfection, since the active substances by which atomic nitrogen has a decontaminating effect (OH, O3, O, NO, etc) in different states of excitation are natural and molecular nitrogen is not toxic. All the active species involved are also produced naturally during a lightning storm. What we are actually doing is to reproduce part of the effects, due to lightings, but at the right place and in the right proportion. However, lightings don’t produce them at those locations, where these species can be useful in fighting the virus spread through a complementary disinfection method.
