According to a recent study, the areas around hospital toilets were more likely to test positive for viruses and bacteria than areas around office toilets, an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website said.
Researchers tested surfaces and air around five toilets in the nephrology ward of a hospital and two in an office building for contaminants. More tests were positive in the hospital setting.
The most contaminated surfaces were door handles, flushing buttons and toilet seats, the article said.
