can tell you that it is a fact that shopping trolley handles are over
three times dirtier than public toilet handles and door knobs.
The Korea Consumer Protection Board carried out a survey on 120 items
found in public facilities were people commonly touch with there hands.
This survey was carried out in Seoul and nearby cities.
According to the Korea Times newspaper, the board examined 20 hand
straps on trains, 20 hand straps on buses, 20 toilet doorknobs at four
department stores, 20 lift buttons at four department stores, 20 handles
of shopping trolleys are four stores and 20 mouse's at four internet
cafes.
The results are as follows.
C.F.U stands for Colony Forming Units
1. Shopping Trolley handles- 1100 CFU per 10sq cm
2. Internet cafe computer mouse- 690 CFU per 10sq cm
3. Bus hand straps - 380 CFU per 10sq cm
4. Public toilet handles and door knobs 340 CFU per 10sq cm
5. Lift buttons at 130 CFU per 10sq cm
