Prepare to be amazed by a startling fact that will make you reconsider your hygiene habits! Are you ready? Brace yourself: the washroom and door handles at Centennial College are actually cleaner than your beloved cell phone! That's right, folks - those little devices we carry with us everywhere are harboring more germs and bacteria than the very surfaces we often associate with being dirty. So, the next time you reach for your phone, remember that the handles in the college washrooms may be the cleaner option! Who would have thought, right?
The dirty reality of your cell phone- more bacteria than a toilet seat.Scary!.But you heard it right.The data represented over here is proving this.We all know after COVID -19 hygienic quality thoughts among cetizens gains a whole different level.Here I would really appreciate the centeniial college santiation workers’s hardwork who are dong their jobs efficiently.The toilet seat, hand dryer and doors knobs found to be more cleaner when compared with the cell phone’s screens.this proven that we ourself are digging up the ways to get all the ailments and suffer from them, however the blame for this we do put on the others that this place might be dirty that I catch the infection from there.But we never clean those sophisticated devicers that we always kept close to our face that act as a potential source for microbial infection.
Everyone is wary about coming into touch with public surfaces after Covid-19. Are you not frightened to touch public property? Have you ever wondered how many bacteria live on laboratory doorknobs? To find out, we investigated the microbiological load of the laboratory door knobs. Door knobs come into touch with the hands of thousands of people on a daily basis, therefore we would expect laboratory door handles to have a high microbial load. Surprisingly, our trial findings show that the door knobs at college are more sanitary than the cellphone screen we carry with us on a regular basis. This is because of appropriate sanitation. Centennial college workers have been working to keep the college premises clean and the results can be seen through our experiment.
For our experiment, the door knobs of centennial college were swabbed before and after 70% isopropyl alcohol to determine its microbial load.
Two trials of our experiment were performed and the average microbial load found was 13.5 CFU. In our results, we observed 17 colonies for door knobs before using isopropyl alcohol in the first trial. In our second trial, 10 colonies were observed before using the disinfectant. So, the average microbial load observed for door knobs was 13.5 colonies.
This is impressive data considering how frequently everybody uses that door handles.
In our experiments comparing hand dryers and paper towels, we observed a clear trend. After washing with soap, the number of colonies on plates was extremely high for both methods. However, after drying under a hand dryer for 20 seconds, the number of colonies remained the same, whereas after drying for 45 seconds, the number of colonies reduced. In contrast, paper towels successfully reduced the number of bacteria in a shorter period of time.
In their second experiment, we discovered something even more shocking. The microbial count in women's restrooms was significantly higher than in men's restrooms, with toilet seats being the most contaminated area in both trials. Moreover, hand dryers were found to contribute to a higher microbial burden on hands than paper towels.
In the end, we had uncovered a wealth of information that could help keep us all healthier and safer. It was clear that paper towels were the better option for maintaining sanitation in restrooms, and that women's restrooms needed extra attention when it comes to cleaning. Armed with this knowledge, we can all take steps to keep our hands clean and stay healthy!
Cells phones became a inevitable part of human life and no one can imagine even a second of their life without their cell phones.Nevetheless, beside the fruitful technology they act as carrier for bacteria. A set up laid down where a swab from the cell phone screen was taken and plated on down before and after using the disinfection. The before results were unbearable that plate of full bacterial colonies was obtained , while after using the disinfectant almost neglible ( 4 colonies) bacterial colonies were obtained. This act as indicator of self-hygienic level. Hence, the data was enough to that how much bacterial load is on phone screen.
