Copper Ionization for Inactivating E. coli, Coliphage MS2, and Bacillus Atrophaeus Spores in Irrigation Water for Fruits and Vegetables
http://www.laurenhaileytechnologies.com/NCSU_Abstract.php
Copper Ionization for Inactivating E. coli, Coliphage MS2, and Bacillus Atrophaeus Spores in Irrigation Water for Fruits and Vegetables. By, Dr. Otto D. Simmons III, North Carolina State University. Coliphage MS2, and. Reductions were achieved with the low and high copper concentrations at 2 hours and at 30 minutes, respectively. Coliphage MS2 reductions of 98% and greater than 99.9% were achieved by low and high copper concentrations at 30 minutes and at 5 minutes, respectively.

Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Cyclamen plants benefit from copper ionization. Isolating, detecting and controlling waterborne pathogens is growing ever more important, as is pre-harvest food safety and disinfection. And, as growers fight disease, the potential for problems and financial loss increases proportionately with the size of the growing operation. A North Carolina State University study on E. coli has shown. For growers who aren’t aware of the water-monitor...

Copper Ionization for Water Sanitation by Dr. Ratus Fischer
http://www.laurenhaileytechnologies.com/Fisher_Article.php
Copper Ionization for Water Sanitation. By, Dr. Ratus Fischer. Copper ions are copper atoms stripped of two electrons (Cu ). In their ‘desire’ to acquire the missing electrons, copper ions easily bond to organic molecules, such as cell walls of pathogens. In the course, they damage the cell walls and kill the organisms. Free copper concentrations of 1 ppm will inactivate pythium, phytophthora, xanthomonas and other waterborne pathogens while 2 ppm will kill algae. This means that most copper applicat...

Frequently Asked Questions
http://www.laurenhaileytechnologies.com/FAQs.php
Some Facts About Copper Ionization. Why is copper ionization so frequently recommended these days? Copper ionization fills an important niche in greenhouse water treatment. It makes sanitizing large volumes of water affordable, especially in recirculating systems. And copper ions travel throughout the water system, eliminating pathogens, biofilm and algae wherever they go. Not long ago, some people called copper ionization snake oil. Why should I consider it now? How do the copper ions act on pathogens?

Copper Ionization
http://www.laurenhaileytechnologies.com/Copper_Ionization.php
Despite extensive measures by the industry to ensure a food supply free of microbial contaminants, foodborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis continue to occur. The outbreaks can be linked to contaminated fresh produce, which often is consumed raw. Also, the uneven surfaces generally found on fruits and vegetables make it difficult to remove or inactivate microbial pathogens on the surface. Copper ionization electronically releases positively charged copper atoms by applying a low-voltage current to copper e...
