Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Rocky, a huge industry is putting silver dust or colloidal silver into plastic surfaces so as they weather, enough silver ions are exposed to subdue bacteria and viruses that hit those surfaces. These ten most infested places, plus cafeteria table tops, were the first targets several years ago in Japan; maybe something is happening in the USA by now (you'd think).
