Scientists and doctors have long realized that our everyday waste can provide valuable insights into our health and wellbeing. But for most people, going to the bathroom is part of their routine, and they'd rather have a quick flush. Fortunately, a new batch of "smart toilets" is hitting the market, offering analytics to the most discerning consumers. Smart toilets are by no means a new idea, but in recent years, Dr. Seung-min Park, an instructor in Stanford University's Department of Urology Medicine, has begun to ponder the ethical issues we might face once stool and urine scanning devices become commonplace. "There are growing privacy concerns and ethical considerations about how AI-related devices can spy on you," Park told LAMag. "It's a huge impetus to start thinking about how to use the system ethically and with privacy protection." Regardless of what it can detect, human observation of our daily activities can ensure that we have access to an additional resource to maintain our health. Still, with the deluge of data we collect every day, Park said he worries about what might happen if a smart toilet leaks what is essentially medical information. Ultimately, however, the greatest immediate benefit the device will provide may be its ability to more pleasantly and accurately learn from our poop — without the need for us to analyze it ourselves.

Oncologist Dr Eze Njoku urged Nigerians to use toilet paper with caution, pointing to studies confirming that chlorine, a chemical used in paper making, produces dangerous toxins such as dioxins and furans, adding that these toxins can build up in the body and cause severe health problems, including cancer, infertility, and liver disease. He further said that recent studies have shown that many toilet papers contain a class of dangerous synthetic compounds known as PFAS. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to cancer, asthma, thyroid disease, liver damage and reproductive problems, he added, and toilet paper can also leak potentially dangerous compounds into wastewater systems, he added. He said: "The method used to whiten toilet paper is called bleaching. Most businesses use this process, although the unbleached product is often rough to the touch. Chlorine gas leads to the production of dioxins, which are highly toxic and whose dangers include endocrine disruption, immune system damage, reproductive and developmental problems, and potential cancer. Using a bidet or installing a small shower next to the toilet is the best choice for enhanced hygiene and environmental protection.

During your travels, you may have noticed that public toilets are very different from the ones you have at home. Usually, the toilets in our own homes have comfortable oval or round seats. However, not all toilets have that traditional shape of the toilet. Some public toilet seats have a rather distinctive and incomplete U shape. Of course, there are some reasons behind this change, mainly hygiene. This unique toilet seat is known as a front-loading toilet seat, and it is the preferred choice for most public restrooms due to the American Standard National Plumbing Code. This toilet dates back nearly 70 years to 1955. In 1973, the Uniform Plumbing Code further mainstreamed U-shaped toilet seats. The code states: "Toilets shall be of smooth, non-absorbent material. All toilets intended for public use shall be front-loading." The whole idea behind this is obviously hygiene, since the number of people sitting on a public toilet seat on any given day is not a number we want to know. But with these U-shaped seats, there's less surface area for bacteria to grow on, so less contact with your lower body.

The average life of a regular toilet is between 15 to 30 years. While this is true, you need to remember that no matter how well maintained your choice is, age will eventually catch up with it. Indeed, how long your toilet will last will depend on how often you use and maintain it. Since these fixtures don't have an expiry date, it is usually hard to detect whether your toilet is old and needs a replacement. The good news, however, is that in most cases, your toilet will probably let you know when it is time to let it go. Take a look at some common signs that your toilet is too old and will soon need replacing. 1. Regular clogging and constant repairs. If you unclog your toilet frequently, if you call a plumber too often, take it as a sign that you need to find a suitable replacement for your old toilet. Other than costing you a lot of money in the long run, recurring toilet problems will also reduce the quality of your life. 2. Continuous flush and higher water bill. It is usual for the water to run for a few minutes right after flushing; however, if the flush never ends, there is a trouble. In such scenarios, the flapper valve is not sealing. Older, broken, and less efficient toilets will use more water to get the job done compared to their newer counterparts. So if you recently have an unusually high water bill, have your old toilet checked by a plumber; you may need to install a new one to save on water bills. 3. Cracks on the tank or bowl and toilet leaks. Older toilets eventually develop cracks that can easily bring about a leak. While noticing a crack in the bowl is not easy, the first sign should be a puddle of water at the toilet's base. Whether you need to repair or replace your toilet depends entirely on the crack's position. 4. A wobbly toilet. An unstable and wobbly toilet might indicate loose parts that occur gradually over the years. However, if tightening a few screws doesn't address the issue, the floor underneath may be compromised because of water damage. Your old equipment may slowly leak onto the floor beneath.
