AB - Water-based cutting fluids are essential in metal machining processes for cooling and lubrication; however, prolonged circulation often results in microbial growth, leading to fluid deterioration and increased occupational health risks. This study investigates microbial contamination in used water-based cutting fluids collected from small and medium-sized metal processing workplaces and evaluates the effectiveness of plasma treatment as a control technology. Samples were analyzed for pH, bacterial counts, and concentration before and after plasma treatment. The results showed a significant reduction in bacterial counts and stabilization of pH following plasma treatment, accompanied by noticeable improvements in odor and fluid appearance. These findings indicate that plasma treatment is a promising alternative technology for managing microbial contamination in cutting fluids and improving workplace hygiene conditions.
