Should you flush with #toilet lid up or down?
Scientists at Univ of Arizona investigated whether closing #toiletlid before flushing reduces #crosscontamination of #bathroom surfaces by bacterial and viral particles via "toilet plumes."
Bad news putting a lid on it doesn't result in any substantial reduction in #contamination.
