Abstract

This book is based on papers, which present the application of the pulsed electrical discharges in water and water dispersions of metal and oxide nanoparticles in surgery, dentistry, oncology, biology, and ecology. Initially, the researches were focused on the physical processes and parameters of the pulsed discharges in water to prove their possibility for bacterial purification of water and sewage from almost all known bacteria and spores of fungi. It was founded for the first time that the so called prolonged microbial resistance of water treated by the pulsed electric discharges due to the nanoparticles and positive ions emitting by them. It has been shown that the nanoparticles are not genotoxic and mutagenic. The intensive shock waves generated by the pulsed discharges represent a novel technique of “soft” destroying of viruses’ membranes and this way to prepare anti-virus vaccines. This book is useful for researchers and graduate students in the field.
