Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Schematic depiction of MS2 aerosolization and spread to adjacent areas after flushing a home toilet of U.S design."

From the study "Impacts of lid closure during toilet flushing and of toilet bowl cleaning on viral contamination of surfaces in United States restrooms"

"In the present study, changes in the MS2 deposition pattern after flushing with the toilet lid down were observed (Fig 3), although the pattern changes were not consistent. The toilet lid (bottom and top) and wall contamination were relatively low after flushing with the lid either up or down. The toilet seat was the most contaminated surface after flushing. Greater contamination of the toilet seat probably reflects the airflow that occurs during toilet flushing (ie, largely around the top and bottom of the toilet seat). Flow over the toilet bowl rim and under the toilet seat in household toilets of United States design is enabled since the seat is raised from the rim ∼0.5 in. This directed flow also contributed to the MS2 contamination of the restroom floors and walls. Thus, it appears that closure of the toilet lid is not effective in reducing the contamination of the toilet seat area or contamination of other areas (fomites, floors, walls) within the restroom."
