【No. 1096】Toilet Lids
Dec 18, 2017 14:55
Of course you will flush a toilet after using it.
At this time, do you run the water in the sink after closing the lid of the toilet?
Or do you close the lid of the toilet after running the water in the sink?
(Please don't say that you don't close lids of toilets.)
According to the study at University of Leeds,if you flush a toilet while opening the lid, pathogens called Clostridium difficile contained in your feces will become aerosol, and they will scatter to 25 cm above the toilet seat.
It was also reported that the contamination was detected within 90 min after flushing.
From now on, all we should flush toilets after closing the lids.

トイレの蓋
トイレで用を足したら、水を流しますよね。
このとき、トイレの蓋は閉めてから水を流していますか？
それとも、水を流してからトイレの蓋を閉めますか？
（蓋を閉めないなんて言わないでください。）
リード大学の研究によると、トイレの蓋を開けたまま水を流すと、排泄物中の病原菌がエアロゾルとなり、便座の上約25cmまで飛び散ります。
病原菌は、90分経った後も検出されたそうです。
これからは、蓋を閉めてから水を流すようにしましょう。

Are you talking about the action of flushing a toilet here? We don't really talk about the "sink" of a toilet; instead the word "bowl" is used.

According to a study at University of Leeds, if you flush the toilet while opening the lid, pathogens called Clostridium difficile contained in your feces will become aerosol, and they can fly around up to 25cm above the toilet seat.
Very difficult to translate properly. "splash up" might also work.
