I am curious how this compares to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_copper-alloy_touch_surfaces http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_copper-alloy_touc...
These surfaces have good properties and don't encourage any sort of resistances.
edit: I see Pull Clean is trying to get people to clean their hands more, but I also think it is not good to ignore an existing good strategy for eliminating germs in one of the dirtiest places (door handles) in a hospital. I am wondering how well studied this is and if it results in a cleaner environment in a hospital setting compared to installing the copper surface handles everywhere.
- sosuke 12y agoI came to mention something similar I read many years back about copper, but it was funded by the "copper industry" and the article is on the Daily Mail from 2008. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1081359/Copper-door-handles-taps-kill-95-superbugs-hospitals.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1081359/Copper-doo... Alternatively I found another article sighting a study that says brass is good from 2012. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9762689/Fit-brass-fixtures-to-cut-superbugs-say-scientists.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9762689/Fit-bra...
