Das Herunterklappen des Toilettendeckels w\u00e4hrend des Sp\u00fclens galt als die sicherste Methode, um zu verhindern, dass aerosolierte Viren die Badezimmeroberfl\u00e4chen kontaminieren. Forscher einer neuen Studie haben jedoch herausgefunden, dass es eigentlich keine Rolle spielt, ob der Deckel oben oder unten ist, denn die einzige M\u00f6glichkeit, das Risiko zu mindern, besteht darin, die Toilette regelm\u00e4\u00dfig zu desinfizieren.<\/p>\n

Im lernen<\/a> Wie Forscher der University of Arizona und des Forschungsunternehmens Reckitt Benckiser im American Journal of Infection Control ver\u00f6ffentlichten, stellten sie fest, dass sich Viruspartikel w\u00e4hrend der Toilettensp\u00fclung auf vielen Toilettenoberfl\u00e4chen ausbreiten, unabh\u00e4ngig davon, ob der Toilettendeckel ge\u00f6ffnet oder geschlossen ist.<\/p>\n

\u201eDa die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Schlie\u00dfen von Toilettendeckeln keinen nennenswerten Einfluss auf die Verhinderung der Ausbreitung von Viruspartikeln hat, unterstreicht unsere Studie die Bedeutung einer regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Desinfektion von Toiletten, um Kontaminationen zu reduzieren und die Ausbreitung von Viren zu verhindern\u201c, so der leitende Autor Charles P. Gerba von der Universit\u00e4t von Arizona sagte in einem Pressemitteilung<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Das Forschungsteam untersuchte die Ausbreitung von Viruspartikeln beim Toilettensp\u00fclen in beiden Szenarien \u2013 bei ge\u00f6ffneten und geschlossenen Deckeln. Die Studie wurde sowohl in Haushaltstoiletten als auch in \u00f6ffentlichen Toiletten durchgef\u00fchrt. Allerdings beschr\u00e4nkte sich die Beurteilung der Auswirkung des Schlie\u00dfens des Deckels auf Haushaltstoiletten, da \u00f6ffentliche Toiletten in der Regel keinen Deckel haben.<\/p>\n

Bevor die Toiletten gesp\u00fclt wurden, wurden sie mit einem nicht pathogenen Virus als Ersatz f\u00fcr gef\u00e4hrliche Viren geimpft, und es wurden Proben aus dem Wasser der Toilettensch\u00fcssel und von Oberfl\u00e4chen auf der Toilette, dem Boden und den W\u00e4nden gesammelt.<\/p>\n

\u201eBei der Haushaltstoilette stellten die Forscher fest, dass es keinen statistischen Unterschied in der Virusmenge gab, die von Oberfl\u00e4chen auf der Toilette oder dem nahegelegenen Boden gesammelt wurde, unabh\u00e4ngig davon, ob die Toilette mit ge\u00f6ffnetem oder geschlossenem Deckel gesp\u00fclt wurde. Die Viruskontamination der umgebenden W\u00e4nde war in beiden F\u00e4llen minimal, w\u00e4hrend der Toilettensitz die am st\u00e4rksten kontaminierte Oberfl\u00e4che war. \u00c4hnliche Kontaminationsmuster wurden bei der \u00f6ffentlichen Toilette beobachtet\u201c, hei\u00dft es in der Pressemitteilung.<\/p>\n

Um den Effekt der reinen Reinigung mit einer B\u00fcrste im Vergleich zur Verwendung von Desinfektionsmitteln zu ermitteln, nahmen die Forscher Proben von der Toilettensch\u00fcsselb\u00fcrste und ihrem Beh\u00e4lter. Beim Vergleich der Kontaminationsgrade stellten die Forscher fest, dass die Reinigung der Toilettensch\u00fcssel mit einem Desinfektionsmittel und einer B\u00fcrste die in der Toilette gefundene Virusmenge deutlich reduzierte.<\/p>\n

\u201eDie Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Zugabe von Desinfektionsmittel in die Toilettensch\u00fcssel vor dem Sp\u00fclen oder die Verwendung von Desinfektionsmittelspendern im Toilettensp\u00fclkasten wirksame Methoden zur Reduzierung der Kontamination durch Sp\u00fclen waren\u201c, hei\u00dft es in der Pressemitteilung.<\/p>\n

\u201eUm das mit der Exposition gegen\u00fcber kontaminierten Keimen in der Toilette verbundene Risiko zu verringern, wird eine regelm\u00e4\u00dfige Desinfektion aller Toilettenoberfl\u00e4chen nach dem Toilettenb\u00fcrsten und\/oder die Verwendung eines Desinfektionsmittels empfohlen, das eine verbleibende mikrobizide Wirkung hinterl\u00e4sst, insbesondere wenn der Haushalt von einer Person mit einer Infektion bewohnt wird \u201eAktive Infektion mit einem Virus wie dem Norovirus, die eine akute Gastroenteritis verursacht\u201c, schreiben die Forscher in der Studie.<\/p>\n
