CAIRE –
A recent study from the Scottish University, published in the British newspaper Daily Mail, revealed that the mobile phone could be "dirtier" with 7 times the toilet seat.
The phones, which are protected by a leather case, host most bacteria, while those covered with plastic bags containing germs represent more than six times the amount occupied in the toilet seat.
However, a survey of office staff showed that 2 out of 5 people had their phones with them when they entered the bathroom.
According to the study, the company has conducted a survey of smart phones and toilet seats using a portable device that can show live microbes on the surface in bright places.
The toilet seat, thus smoothed, had 220 bright spots at the point where the bacteria was deposited, but the average points appeared on the surface of the cell phone had risen to 1479.
"Analyzing a smart phone, it's like checking one's manual to get rid of germs," said Professor Hugh Pennington, a professor of microbiology at Aberdeen University.
"There will be Norovirus-like viruses on phones at this time of year, but other types of germs on smart phones will likely come from bacteria, especially because of the fact that the phone goes between people, but the chance of becoming a disease is low "
"However, it can be unacceptable to switch smart phones between people."
