ANTIMICROBIAL CREDIT CARDS, IDENTIFICATION BADGES
On 14 December 2010 the United States Patent Office issued patent no. 7,851,517 to Lisa Holmes for all manner of antimicrobial plastic cards and holders.
Government, airports, hospitals, restaurants, retail stores, and security jobs can handle and be exposed to hundreds of cards per day.
Studies done in 2000 and 2001 showed that a few antibiotic-resistant germs could survive on plastic surfaces for three full months. “Any surface could contribute to the passing of the virus, which typically will live up to six to eight hours after contact has been made,” says Llelwyn Grant of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
