Bioaerosol concentrations generated from toilet flushing in a hospital-based patient care setting

Table 1 Arithmetic mean bioaerosol concentrations and standard deviations of colony forming units sampled from hospital bathrooms each condition representing 10 sampling trials

Toilet Conditions	Mean Bioaerosol Conc. (St. Dev.), CFU/m³)
No Waste No Flush	210 (136)^a
No Waste With Flush	240 (132)
Fecal Waste With Flush	278 (149)^a

^a Room conditions identified by pairwise Tukey test as significantly different (p-value = 0.005)
