Antimicrobial Headphones from Califone
posted Friday, 26 January 2007
Did you know nearly 22 million school days are lost annually due to the common cold? Califone seeks to help students and teachers stay healthy with a line of headphones that utilizes an antimicrobial compound that provides protection against the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew and other microbes that can easily spread in the classroom.
The special compound is actually built into the headphones, not topically applied after manufacturing, is student safe and is the first of its kind to be used within audio-assisted products. It is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), listed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and certified by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The silver-based compound interferes with cell growth by distributing transport functions in the cell wall, inhibiting cell division and interrupting cell metabolism, thereby limiting the growth of bacteria and making it ideal for classroom use.
