This article introduces the genotoxicity of low-temperature air plasma (LTAP)
as a new mutagen with safety and non-pollution. With Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the index organism
the genotoxicity of LTAP in the dose-effect relationship of lethality and mutagenesis was discussed. The results showed the survival curve of the treated cells was fluctuating under 150W discharge power of LTAP. This special lethality made the 150W LTAP present exclusive feature of obvious mutagenesis with relatively low damage to treated cell. Our results showed the LTAP
