  • Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’S Something Quintessentially British When It Comes to Talking About Toilets
    Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’s something quintessentially British when it comes to talking about toilets Introduction The loo, the restroom, the powder room, the washroom - call it what you may - we all spend a lot more time noticing them and talking about them than you think. Even though research finds the average desk at work harbours 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat, our sense of serenity comes from how we regard our restrooms. In restaurants, they impact our perceptions of hygiene while in the workplace grubby washrooms conjure up visions of employers with similarly low standards. In short, toilets say a lot about their owners. All of this is against a backdrop of an emerging national debate about our basic facilities. Not only are their size, design and functionality all being looked at, there is now a serious debate about whether workplaces should allow members of the public, not just their employees, to use their loos. Around 40% of public conveniences have disappeared in the last decade and, in a speech to her fellow MPs in September 2017, Madeleine Moon MP called for business rate reductions as a reward for friendly employers who open their (toilet) doors to a wider clientele. Pragmatically, there is an economic reason behind wanting to maximise the net internal area of a toilet. Dwarfing this though, is an emerging conversation about whether workplaces should dispense with traditional male-female loo labels altogether, and instead only offer gender-neutral toilets - to help transgender and non-binary people feel more comfortable. If even the White House has done it, many are asking why the change can’t be made here too.

  • Arxiv:2101.11990V1 [Physics.Flu-Dyn] 28 Jan 2021 in the Study Reported That All of the Restroom Surfaces Appeared Teria Recovered from Air Samples
    Aerosol generation in public restrooms Jesse H. Schreck,1, a) Masoud Jahandar Lashaki,2, b) Javad Hashemi,1, c) Manhar Dhanak,1, d) and Siddhartha Verma1, e) 1)Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA 2)Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA (Dated: 29 January 2021) Aerosolized droplets play a central role in the transmission of various infectious diseases, including Legionnaire’s disease, gastroenteritis-causing norovirus, and most recently COVID-19. Respiratory droplets are known to be the most prominent source of transmission for COVID-19, however, alternative routes may exist given the discovery of small numbers of viable viruses in urine and stool samples. Flushing biomatter can lead to the aerosolization of microorganisms, thus, there is a likelihood that bioaerosols generated in public restrooms may pose a concern for the transmission of COVID-19, especially since these areas are relatively confined, experience heavy foot traffic, and may suffer from inadequate ventilation. To quantify the extent of aerosolization, we measure the size and number of droplets generated by flushing toilets and urinals in a public restroom. The results indicate that the particular designs tested in the study generate a large number of droplets in the size range 0:3mm to 3mm, which can reach heights of at least 1:52m. Covering the toilet reduced aerosol levels but did not eliminate them completely, suggesting that aerosolized droplets escaped through small gaps between the cover and the seat. In addition to consistent increases in aerosol levels immediately after flushing, there was a notable rise in ambient aerosol levels due to the accumulation of droplets from multiple flushes conducted during the tests.

  • Part 3: Toilet Design Considerations: Micro Level
    PLANNING FOR PUBLIC TOILETS PART 3: MICRO LEVEL: TOILET DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: Inclusive Design for Different Types of User Groups ' To a good doctor there is no physical or mental aspect of his patient which should embarrass him. He may be worried or shocked by what his diagnosis reveals, but if he's any good, he is not embarrassed. Correspondingly, therefore, there should be no type of building, and no human function related to it which should embarrass the architect!' (Architects Journal, 1953, No.117). This section looks at the 'micro' level of detailed toilet design. However, the emphasis is upon principles, and upon 'seeing' how the different components of the toilet cubicle 'work' together, because, as they say, 'the devil is in the detail'. The emphasis is again upon the user, the range of user types, and the social and qualitative factors involved, rather than upon the technical plumbing and engineering aspects dealt with elsewhere in this course programme. There is also a longer optional explanation of the issues in the second part of the paper. A PowerPoint accompanies and illustrates Part 3. Part 3 is longer because detailed issues are so important. A fuller bibliography, list of references is given at the end. In fact Part 3 may be used as a module in its own right on inclusive design. People are Important There are many detailed design guides on the precise dimensions and locations of rails, toilet pans, washbasins, mirrors etc and so it is not the purpose of this chapter to give precise guidance on these. 'The problem' is that some toilet manuals deal with each component without seeing how they inter-relate with each other spatially.

  • Toilet-Etiquette.Pdf
    RESTROOMS AND SANITATION REQUIREMENTS Common sense and logical rules of restroom and office kitchen manners CONSIDERATIONS Primary Rule: Be Hygienic – ALWAYS– Clean up your own mess! General Guidelines: Check that the stall has sufficient toilet paper before using it. If you use the last role let maintenance know so that it can be replaced. Lock the door while using the toilet. Squat only on squatting toilets, pedestal toilets are for sitting on only. Flushing use: NEVER forget to use Flush Once You Are Done. Do not hesitate to call Physical Plant if the flush is not working. Consider a courtesy flush(s). It never hurts to have one last look to make sure the evidence is gone. It should disappear, just like all our unwanted stuff. To that place called “AWAY." Do not light matches to hide smells. CONSIDERATION, Cont’d Feminine hygiene products and baby wipes should not be flushed down the toilet but be wrapped and disposed of in a disposal unit which is properly lined with plastic or wax paper bags. If you are female please remain seated while doing your business. If you are a male try to stand as close to the toilet seat as possible to avoid wetting the seat. If you are a male do leave a gap between yourself and the person in the next stall. Prevent ‘Shy bladder syndrome’ for others. If you are a male keep eyes focused to the wall. Minimize chit chat. A grunt of acknowledgement is ok when entering the restroom. Wash your hands thoroughly after your business – whatever it is.

  • The Proposals for Design of Humanized Public Toilet
    CIB W062 Symposium 2006 The Proposals for Design of Humanized Public Toilet Frank M.H. Wu [email protected] Honorable Chairman of Taiwan Toilet Association Professor of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Department of Architecture, Taiwan Abstract Public toilet are facilities we use everyday, but it seems to be thought of as dirty, smelly, and unsafe. How to eliminate this kind of image is of key importance, it deserves everyone’s concern and effort to amend such problem. The design priority for public toilet is humanization - it has to be designed with the need of user’s behavior. Secondly, the brightness, good ventilation and safety are important as well. Thirdly, it should be easy to clean and maintain. According to this understanding and based on my previous personal experiences of toilet designs, I would be glad to present this information to the benefit of our ”toilet family” as a whole in the hope that it will meet with overwhelming support. Keywords Humanization; Safe and comfortable; Toilet behavior of disabled people; Dressing platform for ladies. 1 Introduction Public toilets are places that everyone must use everyday; the distinction of toilet design is an issue of concern. Does it accord with our daily behavior of use or whether it is easy to clean? Taipei began to promote cleaning programs since 2000. In recent years, department stores, cinemas, restaurants, stations, markets, parks, schools, and all administrative units have dedicated their utmost efforts to work on the cleanliness. The city implemented new plans as well, that really did make some noticeable improvement in public toilets.

  • Women's Attitudes and Beliefs on Using Public Restrooms

Hartigan 1, Kemberlee Bonnet 2, Leah Chisholm 1, Casey Kowalik 3, Roger R. Dmochowski 1, David Schlundt 2 and W. Stuart Reynolds 1,* 1 Department of Urology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN 27232, USA; [email protected] (S.M.H.); [email protected] (L.C.); [email protected] (R.R.D.) 2 Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN 27232, USA; [email protected] (K.B.); [email protected] (D.S.) 3 Department of Urology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 February 2020; Accepted: 17 March 2020; Published: 20 March 2020 Abstract: There are a variety of factors and influences, both internal and external, that may impact an individual’s public toileting experience and may ultimately have repercussions for bladder health. This study sought to identify predominant constructs underlying a women’s attitude towards using restrooms at work, at school, and in public in order to develop a conceptual model incorporating these themes. We performed a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional, survey-based study that included open-ended questions about limitations to restroom use using a mixed-methods approach. Qualitative data coding and analysis was performed on 12,583 quotes and, using an iterative inductive-deductive approach, was used to construct the conceptual framework. Our conceptual framework reveals a complicated interplay of personal contexts, situational influences, and behavioral strategies used by women to manage their bladder and bowel habits away from home.
