Abstract
The present invention discloses an ionization unit configured to produce one or more types of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The ionization unit includes an inlet port, first electrode, a second electrode, one or more high voltage generators and an outlet port. The inlet port facilitates entry of a predefined gaseous composition into the ionization unit. The first electrode and second electrode are maintained at a first and second set of ionization parameters respectively. The high voltage generators are operationally coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode to enable the electrodes to generate Corona discharge. The outlet port produces a continuous stream of ROS. The first set of ionization parameters is different from the second set of ionization parameters.
