In 2020, the Aerosol Association of Hungary (CSAOSZ)
celebrated its 30th anniversary.
“Over the past three decades, a modern packaging industry has
emerged in Hungary by international standards, where, in addition
to multinational and foreign-owned packaging companies, successful
family-owned companies have also grown,” the CSAOSZ noted.
Celebratory commemorations scheduled for June 2020 were
canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To help parents and teachers educate children of all ages about bacteria, Microban 24 from Procter
& Gamble created the Microban 24 24-Hour Experiment, a new tool with at-home experiments
and activities that can be incorporated into science curriculums in the classroom or when learning
from home. The experiment, which was created in partnership with microbiologists, medical experts and
PTO Today (a media platform and source of expert advice and ideas for PTO and PTA leaders),
includes activities for all ages, including guided experiments that focus on bacteria and how quickly it
can spread over the course of a 24-hour period. It also features a virtual lab tour, fun and educational
worksheets, coloring sheets, memory games and word puzzles. Spray
