Can Clean Carts Save Lives? By Martin Sloane http://www.siteforsavings.com/new_page_4.htm

"A team of microbiologists at the University of Arizona just completed the first major public health study measuring levels of contaminants on frequently touched public surfaces that can transmit infectious diseases. The study examined more than 800 high-traffic public surfaces in three states... In the first phase of the study, researchers found that one in four surfaces tested positive for filth, based on the presence of certain proteins that indicate poor hygiene. One in five surfaces tested positive for at least one bodily fluid. Not surprisingly, the most contaminated environments were children's playgrounds and daycare centers. Topping the list of worst offenders, however, were a few surprises, including public buses, shopping carts, arm chair rests, vending machine knobs, escalator handrails and public phones."
