    This study has been reviewed by other researchers, the original study chose an industrial toilet with a power flush. Notice how this toilet doesn’t even HAVE a lid. It’s like what you find in a hospital, they’re designed to basically flush a cornish game hen in 1 second.

    Your 1.6L swirly home toilet doesn’t do the same, you can use a laser level to see for yourself. If the swirl is turbulent it’ll spray some, but lots of toilets don’t really emit mist much at all.

      Well, that’s a bit of a relief.

      I still believe that my regular toilet has a plume because I can feel the moisture of the droplets, so I’ll continue to keep the lid down, but still good to know that it isn’t that spectacular.
