1. A method of disinfecting a surface suspected of contamination with a virus, comprising:
producing a reactive gas by forming a high-voltage cold plasma (HVCP) from a working gas with a dielectric baffler discharge (DBD) system;
transporting the reactive gas at least 1 meter away from the HVCP; followed by
contacting the surface with the reactive gas to disinfect the surface,
wherein a host infected with the virus had contacted the surface,
the reactive gas comprises (a) optionally ozone, and (b) at least one reactive or excited species other than ozone, and
effectiveness of the reactive gas at disinfecting is greater than that of the ozone content alone.
