Engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder have confirmed what the germ-phobic among us have long suspected: The flush of a commercial toilet releases a Vesuvius-like cloud of tiny droplets ...

When flushed, commercial toilets can spew airborne particles at speeds of up to 6.6 feet per second. John Crimaldi et al. / University of Colorado Boulder ...
