Researchers say a new urinal design could help prevent thousands of gallons of urine from spilling onto toilet floors.
Modern urinal designs in the United States dump approximately 1 million liters (264,172 gallons) of urine onto the floors and walls of public restrooms every day, creating hygiene problems and unpleasant odors.
But in a new study published Tuesday (April 8) in the journal PNAS Nexus, scientists have proposed an innovative urinal design that could significantly reduce leaks, improving public toilet sanitation and cutting cleaning costs.
