Through this work, we have elucidated the mechanism of hydroxyl radicals (OH(â¢)) generation and its life time measurements in biosolution. We observed that plasma-initiated ultraviolet (UV) photolysis were responsible for the continues generation of OH(â¢) species, that resulted in OH(â¢) to be major reactive species (RS) in the solution. The density and lifetime of OH(â¢) species acted inversely proportional to each other with increasing depth inside the solution. The cause of increased lifetime of OH(â¢) inside the solution is predicted using theoretical and semiempirical calculations. Further, to predict the mechanism of conversion of hydroxide ion (OH(-)) to OH(â¢) or H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and electron, we determined the current inside the solution of different pH. Additionally, we have investigated the critical criterion for OH(â¢) interaction on cancer cell inducing apoptosis under effective OH(â¢) exposure time. These studies are innovative in the field of plasma chemistry and medicine.
