Innovations: Antimicrobial Copper and its virtues


Afraid to touch that railing on the stairs at the airport? Nervous about picking up every germ the 30,000 other people who touched that counter before you left behind?? Congonhas Airport in Sao Paolo, Brazil has installed Antimicrobial Copper to their most-commonly-touched surfaces and found a significant drop in the bacteria levels. For example they have found a 1% survival chance for E. Coli or Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus over 2 hours. It looks good too. Maybe its time to start coating our worlds and hospitals in antimicrobial copper people!!
