Reduction of Microbial Aerosols by Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaners.

Yahya, Moyasar; And Others

Journal of Environmental Health, v55 n3 p32-34 Nov-Dec 1992

A study of the impact of automatic toilet bowl cleaners on aerosol generation. Three toilet bowl cleaners containing 2.5, 6.7 or 18.2 percent surfactant materials were evaluated. Results indicate these cleaners significantly (p 0.05) reduce bacteria ejected from the bowl, and the cleaner containing the greatest amount of surfactant was the most effective in aerosol reduction.
