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.
