Towels
The greatest dispersal of
microbes was found at 0.6 – 0.9m from the floor, the exact face height of small
children who might be standing near the dryer.
The
researchers concluded that parents should keep children away from the stream of
air coming out of jet dryers to ensure that they are not unintentionally
contaminated.
Lead
researchers Dr Keith Redway, of the University of Westminester, said: 'These
findings clearly indicate that single-use towels spread the fewest microbes of
all hand-drying methods.
'Cross
contamination in public washrooms is a legitimate public health concern.
'The
extent to which jet air dryers disperse microbes into the washroom environment
is likely to have implications for policy guidance to facilities managers
operating in a wide range of environments from sports venues and airports
through to schools and hospitals.'
The
findings back up research from the University of Leeds which found that modern
hand dryers are much worse than paper towels at spreading germs.
Researchers
found 27 times more germs in the air around jet-air dryers in comparison with
the air around paper towel dispensers.
They
found also found five times more bacteria around jet-air dryers than warm air
dryers.
