Abstract
This study is about the development of a device that reduces bacterial diffusion and odor by improving the water quality of the toilet using ozone water. In public toilets used by an unspecified number of people, various pollutants and pathogens are present in the toilet. These substances that are harmful to the human are dispersed in the form of aerosols into the air through toilet flushing. Aerosols containing various contaminants may flow into the user's respiratory tract or spread to the skin and cover, serving as a medium for various diseases. In order to prevent this spread, it is essential to continuously maintain cleanliness inside the toilet. Therefore, in this study, ozone water that can improve the water quality of the toilet was used as a way to keep the toilet environment clean. A device that is mounted in a toilet tank and continuously generates ozone water to improve pollutants inside the toilet was designed and developed.
