Cold atmospheric pressure plasma assisted MG degradation process was carried out as a function various plasma treatment time (05, 10, and 15 mins). The % of degradation and presence carbon content in the plasma treated MG was examined by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer. Optical emission spectrometer was used to identify formation of various reactive species during <em>in situ</em> plasma treatment. The higher degradation percentage of 90% was obtained after plasma treatment time of 15 min and value of TOC also found to decreased significantly with increasing plasma treatment time.&nbsp; Toxicity of the plasma-treated MG aqueous solution samples was also examined by Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) bacteria.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Frontiers in Advanced Materials Research}, author={D, Vasu and M.C, Ramkumar and A, Arunkumar and K, Navaneetha Pandiyaraj}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={51-61} }
