EDMONTON -- Transit users may notice brand new seats as they ride on the LRT cars in Edmonton. New seats with a germ-killing additive have been incorporated on approximately two-thirds of LRT cars. Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) said in a press release sent last week that the seats will be easier to clean and maintain and can reduce up to 99.9 per cent of germs, including bacteria, fungus, and viruses. The seats are expected by ETS to last the remaining life of the LRT cars. ETS added that funding for the new LRT seats came from government grants like the federal Public Transit Infra...
Date Time Edmonton Transit opens door to University of Alberta Health Accelerator startup’s germ-killing innovation Edmonton transit users are part of a six-month pilot project assessing a new and surprisingly simple method of killing dangerous bacteria on touch surfaces—door push plates made of compressed salt. The pilot project, conducted by Edmonton biotechnology startup Outbreaker Solutions, involves compressing sodium chloride (the chemical name for salt) into moulds to form hard, smooth, ceramic-like materials. This compressed sodium chloride (CSC) can be used on high-touch surfaces...
The Edmonton Transit Service has partnered with a local biotechnology company to install germ killing push-plates at up to 10 transit facilities around the city.
Article content An Edmonton-based biotechnology company is offering its new door-opening surface to reduce the spread of germs in 10 city transit facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Outbreaker Solutions is installing yellow push-plates on swing doors at select LRT stations and transit centres with the power to kill 99.9 per cent of bacteria in two minutes. The plate, formally called antimicrobial compressed sodium chloride, consists of regular table salt that is compressed into a ceramic tile shape so it’s safe to touch.
