Finding F-1606
“There was no statistically significant difference in the increase of bacteria concentrations in air after drying hands with jet air dryer models A, B and C compared to walking and washing hands or drying them with paper towels at any of the locations sampled (p > 0.05).”
Structure
- Factor
- Airborne bacteria
- Setting
- test chamber
- Study design
- chamber experiment on hand drying: airborne bacteria measured in a purged chamber after volunteers washed and dried their hands with three jet air dryer models, a fourth model, paper towels, or only walked and washed (class 4)
- Effect
- difference
- Caveat
- both drying methods raised the bacteria concentration; the study puts the smallest average increase at 0.68 log10 CFU m−3 for one jet dryer model and the highest at 1.33 log10 CFU m−3 for another
