Abstract :
One of the objectives of the work was to verify
the effects of electricity on protozoa and mosquito larvae
in water. The results demonstrated the occurrence of
paramecium death in lettuce cultures exposed to both
high tension and low intensity treatment, as well as low
tension treatment, and the lack of effect of these methods
on the multiplication of mosquito larvae in standing
water. Regarding the aspects of the cultures,
transparency of the water of the one that received high
voltage treatment was observed. Two phases were
formed in which it received low voltage. The water of the
control group was cloudy. Another objective was to
verify the influence of high voltage electricity on
bacterial activity in three samples of raw milk. The
methylene blue reductase test was used for the visual
verification of discoloration due to the proliferation of
bacteria. It was found that the treated group had less
discoloration when compared to the control group,
which is suggestive that the method decreased the
bacterial load. Further research can be carried out with
the aim of ascertaining the effect of electricity on several
single-celled organisms, including viruses and in
particular COVID - 19.
