A toilet plume is the invisible cloud-like dispersal of potentially infectious microscopic sewage particles & water vapor as a result of flushing a toilet. [1] Science has demonstrated that these particles rapidly rise out of the bowl and several feet into the air after flushing.
For example, {{Toilet icon|20px}} produces the symbol at 20 pixels wide: . If the width parameter is omitted, the default width is 15 pixels. The alt text is the text that screen readers will see. The MediaWiki software also automatically uses it as the tooltip when users hover the cursor over the image. The default text is "Public washrooms".

A toilet seat in the upright position. Toilet seats often have a lid. This lid is frequently left open. The combined toilet seat and lid may be kept in a closed position when a toilet is not in use, making it so—at a minimum—the lid must be raised prior to use.
Symbols were collected from a variety of sources, including railways, Olympic events, airports and government agencies to form a catalog of each type of symbol to be created for close examination. A key goal was to avoid starting from scratch when possible, and instead build off previous development of robust symbol designs in existing systems.
Toilet chair. A close stool was an early type of portable toilet, made in the shape of a cabinet or box at sitting height with an opening in the top.The external structure contained a pewter or earthenware chamberpot to receive the user's excrement and urine when they sat on it; this was normally covered (closed) by a folding lid.
In the bathroom, a flushed toilet with the seat up will spray germs into the air and disperse them throughout a room through a toilet plume. [ 1 ] In January 2024 after 50 years of research on Toilet Plume, Charles Gerba and his team finally settled the age old debate of: Lid Up or Lid Down when you flush.
