How about studies on the value of copper fixtures (door handles, railings, cabinet pulls, etc) in hospitals (and other public places like Grand Central Station in NYC) in reducing the spread of antibiotic resistant (and most other) germs such as was done by a Virginia hospital group (Tidewater area?) reducing infections by around 90%? This was highlighted in an issue of the Smithsonian magazine a few years ago, which also cited historical instances such as soldiers using bronze shavings from their swords to treat wound infections.
