Do you know what are the dirtiest places in the airport?

in #health • 6 years ago (edited)

Eighteen tests were conducted by researchers across six surfaces at three major US airports, including Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), and the results will make you want to wash your hands immediately!

Top three dirtiest places are:

  1. Self-service check-in kiosks. The touch screens are by far the dirtiest places in any airport, contained 253,857 CFU according to the findings. One particularly potent kiosk hosted over one million CFU/sq. in. Just so that you have an idea on how dirty... the average household toilet averages just 172 CFU.
  2. Gate bench armrests averaged 21,630 CFU/sq. in.
  3. Water fountain buttons averaged 19,181 CFU/sq. in.
