Daca tot am pornit un blog despre WC-uri, ma gandesc sa va zic si cateva lucruri "bune", chiar in contextul unor toalete nu tocmai spick&span. Un fel de "stiati ca" la care puteti contribui si voi, la o adica. De pilda: pe volanul unei masini sunt de doua ori mai multi microbi decat pe colacul unui WC (bine, depinde si de ce WC vorbim, ca studiul a fost facut prin UK, unde eu nu am vazut toalete mizerabile).
Iata si ce zice un studiu facut de Universitatea din Arizona in 2002(descoperit intr-un articol din Poynter Online)
The study found that surfaces in personal work areas such as offices and cubes, had higher bacteria levels than surfaces in common areas. Telephones came in as the favorite home for office germs, followed by desks, water fountain handles, microwave door handles and computer keyboards. Surprisingly, toilet seats consistently had the lowest bacteria levels of the 12 surfaces tested in the study.
"We don't think twice about eating at our desks, even though the average desk has 100 times more bacteria than a kitchen table and 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet," Gerba said. "Without cleaning, a small area on your desk or phone can sustain millions of bacteria that could potentially cause illness."

Tot site-ul sus-pomenit citeaza un studiu din 2004 al aceleiasi universitati, care a descoperit ca oamenii, in general, habar nu au unde sunt sansele cele mai mari sa intre in contact cu microbii. Iata ce zice studiul:
* Sixty-four percent of the public thought that a public restroom doorknob has more germs than an ATM but -- surprise! -- ATMs have more germs.
* Most people are unaware that the kitchen sink is one of the germiest places in the house; it's even more contaminated with bacteria than the toilet bowl and garbage can.
* Most people aren't aware that their office desks, computer keyboards, and elevator buttons in their office buildings are "germier" than the toilet seat at work.
* Surprisingly, outdoor port-o-potties are actually cleaner than picnic tables, shopping cart handles, escalator handles, and playground equipment. Playground equipment is the dirtiest of the bunch, presenting a health danger to children. Only nine percent of respondents identified playground equipment as the germiest of outdoor items.
