Flushed With Success

[Lavonda Busing]

Choleraa bacterial disease that causes diarrhoea, affects millions of people worldwide and results in some 150,000 deaths per year, so identifying it early could help mitigate its spread. Yet monitoring cholera outbreaks and other bowel diseases that can cause diarrhoea is tricky.

Gatlin and colleagues are not the only toilet researchers at Georgia Tech. Shannon Yee leads the Reinvent the Toilet Challenge, which aims to create a toilet that needs neither inlet water nor an outlet connection to a sewer system. The aim is to improve sanitation in places where sewerage is not available, and human waste is disposal is done on a household-by-household basis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made many of us aware that virus particles and other nasties in faecal matter can be launched into the air when a toilet is flushed. While scientists have known this for at least 60 years, the nature of these noxious plumes had been poorly understood.

While larger droplets fall out the air very quickly, smaller ones remain suspended for several minutes. And potential pathogens get more than one chance to be airborne, because previous research has shown that they can persist in the pan over several flushes.

The research agrees with a previous study that used a handheld particle counter and suggests that some serious thought should be devoted to the design and ventilation of public toilets and cubicles to minimize the spread of disease. Crimaldi and colleagues report their results in Scientific Reports.

"In Germany, we have taken a 60 percent share of the market for customized toilet seats, with that for mid to high-end ones reaching 80 percent," said Ni Shengming, deputy general manager of the company.

In 2015, reports of Chinese tourists swarming into stores in Japan during the Chinese New Year holidays and buying all of the electronic toilet seats in stock sparked heated discussion and even furor among Chinese netizens, when it was later discovered that they were made in China.

Smart toilets, along with air purifiers and rice cookers, were included by a guideline released by the State Council in April 2016 to improve quality-oriented industries and the quality of made-in-China products.

From its factory in Anshun, Southwest China's Guizhou province, Topseat creates bright decorative toilet seats from locally sourced materials such as bamboo, straw stalks and bio-glues. Being eco-friendly is one of the major reasons for the company's popularity among Western customers, as they are more environmentally concerned, Ni said.

Topseat has signed a contract with Xiayun township in Anshun, which purchases straw stalks from local farmers on behalf of the company to turn the potential environmental hazards into business opportunity. Sales of straw-made toilet seats are expected to top 200,000 this year, according to the company.

Innovation is another key to the company's success. It has more than 5,000 pattern designs, everything from green bamboo leaves, flying birds, whales, turtles and the Eiffel Tower, and some even with relief sculptures and 3D effects.

One well-received cover can be used for both adult and babies, making it a good choice for potty training. Topseat uses a magnet to connect the toddler seat to the lid, so it is basically hidden when it is not used. In addition, the children's fingers will not get trapped as the lid and adult seat have the slow close feature.
