Watch out for the toilet! Today we will tell you why it is imperative to lower the toilet lid before draining the water.
We all go to the toilet. But few people think about how harmful this object of the bathroom is.
The first toilet appeared somewhere in 1596. The inventor of the toilet was Sir John Harington. The plumbing miracle was created for Queen Elizabeth I of England
But the lids for the toilet appeared much later. The purpose of the toilet lid was to prevent the spread of odor.
Many skeptics believe that it is necessary to close the toilet, and someone claims that this is not necessary.
Only real research can prove the correctness of a particular version.
It turns out that scientists are not only concerned about the global problems of mankind, but have time to find time for more mundane things, such as harm to bacteria from the toilet.
Microbiologists began studying the question of why it is worth closing the toilet lid before draining the water. In the study of this issue, the term "toilet train" appeared.
The luminaries of science noted that the need to close the toilet lid before draining appeared due to the fact that bacteria drained into the air when water was drained. Draining the water in the toilet, we launch an aerosol column that floats above the toilet to the ceiling.
Such a toilet loop of water, human feces and air, can seriously harm our health, because the microorganisms of their toilet loop spread at a distance of 4 meters.
The result of the study was published in a publication for Applied Microbiology. Already in 1975, scientists proved that invisible bacteria from the toilet at the time of draining water quickly scatter, conveniently located on all objects of the bathroom.
And it doesn’t matter: this towel, or furniture, all the same, particles of a toilet plume spread throughout the bathroom, infecting everything in its path.
Although the number of microorganisms from the toilet, falling on different objects, is not so great, it’s their reproduction that can harm our health.
In order to prevent harmful reproduction of microorganisms, it is worth remembering the simple rule of using the toilet, namely, closing the lid before draining the water.
Try to store things such as a toothbrush and other hygiene products in a cabinet or on a special shelf, preferably closed.
Get out of the bathroom when draining the toilet. Do not forget about the basic rules of hygiene, which should not be neglected in any case.
It would seem that banal truths about cleanliness and hygiene can protect us from many diseases.
