A scientific study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment analyzed 22 research papers on aerosol production during toilet flushing. The research focused on factors that influence the amount of particles released and how they disperse in space.
The study revealed that when the toilet is flushed, aerosols are produced that can reach the breathing zone of people present in the bathroom. These aerosols are generated by the movement of water and the turbulence created during the flushing process.
The researchers identified several factors that affect the amount of particles released and their dispersion, although the article does not specifically detail what these factors are. The analysis of 22 previous studies allowed for the compilation of information on this phenomenon of potential contamination.
The article does not mention which countries or institutions were involved in the research, nor what specific conclusions or recommendations resulted from the study. The information is mainly focused on the existence and scope of the study, leaving many details unspecified.
