A Study of Hand Washing Practices in Toilet Door Knob

Education

The rising occurrence and spread of disease epidemics from group to group have become significant public health issues. In select government offices, motor parks and markets in India bacterial contamination has been investigated for door handles / grips on public convenience. Of the 180 Swab samples grown, 156 were positive (86.7 percent ). The studies of women's dressing handles/knobs (41.7%) and door grips/knobs were higher than those of males (11.5%). The study also found that the toilet door handles/knives were contaminated more frequently than in public offices and banks in markets, power plants and restaurants. Contamination was also greater at the handles/knot of doors (87.2 percent) than at the bathroom door handles/knobs (85 percent ). Most bacterial pathogens were coliforms. Staphylococcus aureus (30.1 percent), Klebsiella Pneumoniae (25.7 percent), Escherichia coli and private public education organisations for human and environmental health comprise the isolated bacteria diseases. It shows that the most common sites in the town have very pathogenic bacteria, causing epidemics fast. The city health agencies, health officials, the Environmental Protection Board, and private organisations would also be trained on personal and environmental hydration.
