Door Handles - Germs infection insight about door handles

Hi, Of concern is the fact that door handles are instrumental in the spread of many infections. However, some materials, e.g. brass, copper and silver, are slowly poisonous to many germs, via the oligodynamic effect. Brass and copper, for example, disinfect themselves of many germs within eight hours. Other materials such as glass, porcelain, stainless steel and aluminum do not have this effect. Self-disinfecting door handles are particularly important in hospitals, but useful in any building.

Several door handles in glass, porcelain, stainless steel and aluminum are available in markets today.

Be careful when purchasing!!
