Baisser le couvercle des toilettes pendant la chasse d'eau \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le moyen le plus s\u00fbr d'emp\u00eacher les virus en a\u00e9rosol de contaminer les surfaces de la salle de bain. Cependant, les chercheurs \u00e0 l'origine d'une nouvelle \u00e9tude ont d\u00e9couvert que le fait que le couvercle soit relev\u00e9 ou abaiss\u00e9 n'a pas vraiment d'importance, car la seule fa\u00e7on d'att\u00e9nuer le risque est de d\u00e9sinfecter r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement les toilettes.<\/p>\n

Dans le \u00e9tude<\/a> publi\u00e9 dans l'American Journal of Infection Control, des chercheurs de l'Universit\u00e9 d'Arizona et du cabinet de recherche Reckitt Benckiser ont not\u00e9 que les particules virales se propageaient \u00e0 de nombreuses surfaces des toilettes pendant la chasse d'eau, que le couvercle des toilettes soit relev\u00e9 ou abaiss\u00e9.<\/p>\n

"Avec des r\u00e9sultats montrant que la fermeture des couvercles des toilettes n'a aucun impact significatif sur la pr\u00e9vention de la propagation des particules virales, notre \u00e9tude souligne l'importance d'une d\u00e9sinfection r\u00e9guli\u00e8re des toilettes pour r\u00e9duire la contamination et pr\u00e9venir la propagation des virus", a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l'auteur principal Charles P.

L\u2019\u00e9quipe de recherche a examin\u00e9 la propagation des particules virales lors de la chasse d\u2019eau des toilettes dans les deux sc\u00e9narios, alors que les couvercles \u00e9taient ouverts et ferm\u00e9s. L'\u00e9tude a \u00e9t\u00e9 men\u00e9e dans des toilettes domestiques et publiques. Cependant, l\u2019\u00e9valuation de l\u2019impact de la fermeture du couvercle s\u2019est limit\u00e9e aux toilettes domestiques puisque les toilettes publiques n\u2019ont g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement pas de couvercle.<\/p>\n

Avant de tirer la chasse d'eau, ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 ensemenc\u00e9s avec un virus non pathog\u00e8ne comme substitut des virus dangereux, et des \u00e9chantillons ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9lev\u00e9s sur l'eau des cuvettes des toilettes et sur les surfaces des toilettes, du sol et des murs.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0En ce qui concerne les toilettes domestiques, les chercheurs ont constat\u00e9 qu\u2019il n\u2019y avait aucune diff\u00e9rence statistique dans la quantit\u00e9 de virus collect\u00e9e sur les surfaces des toilettes ou sur le sol voisin, que la chasse d\u2019eau soit tir\u00e9e avec le couvercle relev\u00e9 ou abaiss\u00e9. La contamination virale des murs d\u2019enceinte \u00e9tait minime dans les deux cas, tandis que le si\u00e8ge des toilettes \u00e9tait la surface la plus contamin\u00e9e. Des sch\u00e9mas de contamination similaires ont \u00e9t\u00e9 observ\u00e9s dans les toilettes publiques \u00bb, indique le communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Pour conna\u00eetre l'effet du nettoyage uniquement avec une brosse par rapport \u00e0 l'utilisation d'un d\u00e9sinfectant, les chercheurs ont pr\u00e9lev\u00e9 des \u00e9chantillons sur la brosse de la cuvette des toilettes et son support. Lorsque les chercheurs ont compar\u00e9 les niveaux de contamination, ils ont constat\u00e9 que le nettoyage de la cuvette des toilettes avec un d\u00e9sinfectant et une brosse r\u00e9duisait consid\u00e9rablement la quantit\u00e9 de virus trouv\u00e9e dans les toilettes.<\/p>\n

"Les r\u00e9sultats montrent que l'ajout de d\u00e9sinfectant dans la cuvette des toilettes avant de tirer la chasse d'eau ou l'utilisation de distributeurs de d\u00e9sinfectant dans le r\u00e9servoir des toilettes \u00e9taient deux moyens efficaces de r\u00e9duire la contamination due \u00e0 la chasse d'eau", indique le communiqu\u00e9 de presse.<\/p>\n

Viral contamination of the surrounding walls was minimal in both cases, while the toilet seat was the most contaminated surface. Similar patterns of contamination were observed with the public toilet,\" the news release said.To know the effect of cleaning only with a brush versus the use of disinfectant, researchers took samples from the toilet bowl brush and its caddy. When researchers compared the levels of contamination, they noted that cleaning the toilet bowl with a disinfectant and brush significantly reduced the amount of virus found in the toilet.\"Results show that adding disinfectant to the toilet bowl before flushing or using disinfectant dispensers in the toilet tank were both effective ways to reduce contamination from flushing,\" the news release said.\"To reduce the risk associated with exposure to contaminated fomites in the restroom, regular disinfection of all restroom surfaces following toilet brushing, and\/or use of a disinfectant that leaves residual microbicidal activity is suggested particularly when the household is occupied by an individual with an active infection with a virus, such as norovirus, causing acute gastroenteritis,\" the researchers wrote in the study.","og_url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/fr\/devriez-vous-relever-ou-baisser-le-couvercle-des-toilettes-pendant-que-vous-tirez-la-chasse-deau-voici-ce-que-dit-une-etude\/","og_site_name":"Urban Care Clinic","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar","article_published_time":"2024-01-26T05:44:25+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/should-you-put-the-toilet-lid-up-or-down-while-flushing-heres-what-a-study-says.jpg","width":1024,"height":1024,"type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Urban Care Clinic","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"\u00c9crit par":"Urban Care Clinic","Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/should-you-put-the-toilet-lid-up-or-down-while-flushing-heres-what-a-study-says\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/should-you-put-the-toilet-lid-up-or-down-while-flushing-heres-what-a-study-says\/"},"author":{"name":"Urban Care Clinic","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#\/schema\/person\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930"},"headline":"Should You Put The Toilet Lid Up Or Down While Flushing?
