AB  - This study demonstrates the potential application of glass particles doped with 
      Zn(+2) (GZn) as an atoxic, antimicrobial additive when used in conjunction with 
      high density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) 
      polymers. Toxicity tests demonstrated that these modified glass particles were 
      nontoxic to human cells, and atomic absorption analyses demonstrated the 
      migration of ionic species in quantities less than 2.0ppm for both the HDPE/GZn 
      and LLDPE/GZn compounds. Microbiological tests demonstrated the antimicrobial 
      effect of the pure GZn compound as well as the polymeric HDPE/GZn and LLDPE/GZn 
      compounds. In addition, at percentages of GZn higher than 2.00wt.% and at a time 
      of 4h, the bactericidal performance is excellent and equal for both polymeric 
      compounds.
