The Antimicrobial Copper Action Network formed to promote the use of copper & copper alloy surfaces to fight infections. And a new web site aims to help.
The Antimicrobial Copper Action Network is a group of individuals with unique expertise in all aspects of antimicrobial copper ranging from laboratory research to component sourcing and installation.
Its new web site—amcopper.com—provides everything you’ll need to know about Antimicrobial Copper, including the list of bacteria it can fight & kill.
The goal is to reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases in public spaces by installing copper and copper alloy surfaces, including in healthcare, food industry, public transport, private and public buildings, and homes.
Surfaces include commonly touched products like door handles, rails, taps, sinks, buttons, drawer pulls, light switches, benches or even phones and keyboards.
Antimicrobial Copper has been proven to be highly effective against a range of germs & diseases, with peer reviewed research in the U.S., UK, France and elsewhere around the world.
In fact the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registered copper as the country’s only material that can claim antimicrobial effectiveness and runs a Stewardship program devoted to it—https://www.copperalloystewardship.com
