cord-263644-rg00br0d	Lai, A. C. K.	Emission strength of airborne pathogens during toilet flushing	2017-08-14		.txt	text/plain	3930	190	52	This study investigated the emission strength of three types of airborne bacteria, namely Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas alcaligenes, during toilet flushing in a custom‐built toilet under a controlled environment. The pathogens emitted by the first flush were calculated, with the correlations between airborne pathogen emissions and droplet concentration (HP, r=0.944, P<.001; LP, r=0.803, P<.001, HT, r=0.885, P<.05) and bacterial size (HP, r=−0.919, P<.001; LP, r=−0.936, P<.001; HT, r=−0.967, P<.05) in the different conditions then tested. A significant association between bacterial emission strength at different degrees of flushing energy and flushing systems was reported in a recent study focusing on the initial droplet size distribution generated by flushing an experimental toilet system with various flushing mechanisms. Parameters such as water pressure, tank height, and bacterial size were varied, and the correlations between airborne droplet concentration and bacterial emission strength were investigated.	./cache/cord-263644-rg00br0d.txt	./txt/cord-263644-rg00br0d.txt
