Keep a lid on it!:)

When flushing, researchers found that a typical toilet generates an “aerosol plume” of particles (will not further describe) up to 5 feet above the bowl at speeds of > 6 feet/second! That’s all.

@seattleiteleo agree. Also in long term we need to work on indoor air quality, possibly starting with voluntary star ratings for venues and eating places.

Considerations include:
1 people per M2
2 air exchanges per hour
3 direction of air flow (perpendicular or across occupants)
4 presence of visible co2 monitors (in case of system failure or overload)
