Research  Proves Antimicrobial Copper Reduces the Risk of Infections by More Than 40%
Early results from a comprehensive, multi-site clinical trial in the US demonstrate that the use of antimicrobial copper surfaces in intensive care unit rooms resulted in a 40.4% reduction in the risk of acquiring a hospital infection.  Initial study results were presented at the World Health Organization’s 1st International Conference on Prevention and Infection Control (ICPIC) in Geneva, Switzerland on July 1st, 2011.

Study Shows Bacterial Reduction in an Out-Patient Facility
Preliminary results of a pilot study performed in an Infectious Disease outpatient practice at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System show that, with minor modifications, frequently touched surfaces can be made inhospitable to infectious bacteria.

New Research Is A Breath of Fresh Air For Heating And Air Conditioning Units
If you turn on your car air conditioner on a hot summer day and are overwhelmed by the smell of mildew, it is because mold is growing in the air conditioner unit. The same phenomenon occurs on a larger scale in the heating and air conditioning (HVAC) units of buildings.

International Copper Industry Defines Role in the Fight Against Hospital Infections
The copper industry is working together to answer one very important question: Can copper and copper alloys (brass and bronze) help curb the spread of bacteria that cause hospital infection?

U.S. EPA Approves Registration of Antimicrobial Copper Alloys
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the registration of antimicrobial copper alloys, with public health claims.  These public health claims acknowledge that copper, brass and bronze are capable of killing harmful, potentially deadly bacteria. Copper is the first solid surface material to receive this type of EPA registration, which is supported by extensive antimicrobial efficacy testing.

U.K. Hospital to Test Copper's Ability to Fight Germs
Beginning in April 2007, Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham, U.K., will be participating in an 18-month clinical trial to test whether copper alloy touch surfaces help reduce the incidence of deadly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in their facility. Trials are also being planned for hospitals in the United States.
