BJ, Howie & Erica - Gas Pump Handles, most Germ-Ridden Surfaces (10/26)
What do gas pump handles, ATM buttons, mailbox handles and escalator rails have in common in the USA? As the flu season approaches, you may wish make a note of this: they are amongst the most germ-ridden and dirtiest surfaces that Americans touch every day, according to tests carried out in six US major cities recently. The results of the tests were announced to the press earlier today, Tuesday 25 October.
As part of its Healthy Workplace Project, the hygiene products and services company Kimberly-Clark Professional, had trained hygienists go round swabbing frequently touched surfaces in high traffic locations in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia.
Using a Hygiena System SURE II ATP Meter, the hygienists swabbed and analyzed a total of 350 surfaces.
