Abstract

Disclosed is a system for reducing germs by means of plasma. To this end, a piezoelectric transformer is associated with a dielectric film. The peripheral edge of the dielectric film encloses an area to be sterilized, a cavity being formed thereby. A high-voltage end of the piezoelectric transformer is facing a side of the dielectric film facing away from the cavity. The plasma is ignited within the cavity.
