Contact with the contaminated person, object or surface can transfer microscopic powder particles elsewhere. Once the exercise is complete, a suitable UV light can be used to inspect hands, clothing, objects and relevant surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fluorescent particles reveal how far the simulated contamination has travelled, often highlighting secondary and subsequent transfers well beyond the original contamination source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the powder particularly useful for demonstrating surface-to-person, person-to-person and person-to-surface cross-contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrace Different Contamination Sources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV GERM Hygiene Training Powder is available in three fluorescent colours: Green, Blue and Red. Using different colours within the same training exercise allows separate contamination sources to be represented independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, one source could be marked with green powder and another with blue.
