Silver has recently been incorporated into a wide variety of consumer products including apparel, household appliances and even personal hygiene products. Presenters will discuss how the antibacterial effectiveness of Agion silver zeolite technology was tested on door handles across the Penn State Erie campus and after four years of sampling, a significant difference was observed between the bacterial populations isolated from silver versus control-coated door handles. Guest: Beth Ann Potter, PhD, Penn State
