What is Toilet Plume and how can eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators keep bathrooms from getting people sick ?

What is Toilet Plume?

Toilet plume occurs when the force of flushing the toilet sprays microscopic particles into the air.

A study conducted by The CDC demonstrated that potentially infectious aerosols may be produced in substantial quantities during flushing. Aerosolization can continue through multiple flushes and may expose subsequent toilet users. Some of the aerosols desiccate to become droplet nuclei and remain adrift in the air currents. Research suggests that toilet plume could play a contributory role in the transmission of infectious diseases.

A study published in The Journal of Applied Microbiology found that microorganisms reached a vertical height of 2.7 feet after a toilet was flushed.

In studies analyzed by the American Journal of Infection Control , E. coli, lingered in the air for up to four to six hours after flushing. Another determined that salmonella, lingered in the toilet bowl for 50 days and got aerosolized with every flush.  Clostridium difficile, hung out in the air above the toilet for up to 90 minutes after flushing.

What is eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulator (CAR) ?
eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators are UL 2043 Classified (R38307) devices that automatically and accurately regulate airflow. Installing eFlow-CAR is a low-cost solution for balancing ventilation systems and eliminating stack effect. Stack Effect is a phenomenon that commonly occurs in high rise buildings when ventilation systems become out of balance due to fluctuations in environmental conditions. Too much air is drawn from some floors while other floors don’t receive enough ventilation. Stack effect can also cause cross contamination where air is drawn from one floor and forced back into another. Maintaining proper airflow rates in duct risers is the key for proper indoor air quality. Difficulty balancing the system and fluctuations in system pressure due to stack effect make it very problematic to maintain proper flow rates consistently throughout the building. eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators control of the airflow is essential to optimizing good air quality.

One solution, to prevent the spread of toilet plume through high rise buildings, is to instal eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators at every bathroom exhaust.  By balancing any building’s ventilation systems and eliminating stack effect, eFlow-CAR dampers will help reduce the spread of bacteria and contaminants throughout any building. Automatically balanced ventilation systems and proper bathroom exhausts will result in decreased spread of disease causing bacteria and potential reduction of illness in the building’s occupants.

The Newbury at 250 East 87th Street, New York, NY

eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators (CAR’s) were installed at The Newbury, 250 East 87th Street, NYC.
Manually balancing ventilation system is labor intensive and costly. Over ventilation will lead to increased energy cost, while under ventilation will lead to poor indoor air quality.
Installing eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators is an economical, efficient, and easy solution to automatically balance ventilation systems, mitigate stack effect, maintain constant airflow, save energy and improve indoor air quality.
The Newbury, a 30-story apartment building was an early and important high-rise pioneer in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The neighborhood has undergone widespread redevelopment since this building was built in 1970. The 258-unit building, which has a concierge and a garage as well as a rooftop health club, swimming pool, bike room, and storage, was converted to a cooperative in 1980.

Evergreen Village, 12523 Auburn Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana

Evergreen Village located at 12523 Auburn Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana will feature eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators. Evergreen Village is a new affordable assistant living community designed to serve older adults. This multimillion-dollar development, composed of three-story building with studio and one-bedroom apartments, will open in the summer of 2020.

eFlow- Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs) are UL 2043 Classified (R38307) devices that automatically adjust to environmental changes in stack pressure and precisely regulate airflow in ventilation systems to specified levels. Installing eFlow-CARs eliminates Stack Effect,  insures automatic airflow balancing, and promotes high Indoor Air  Quality (IAQ) and energy savings.

The Ed Sullivan Theater, New York, NY

The Ed Sullivan Theater is a historic Landmark located at 1697-1699 Broadway in Manhattan, New York.  The theater is a 13-story, brown brick office building with a ground-floor designated to theater.  It was designed by architect Herbert Krapp and built by Arthur Hammerstein.  The theater opened its doors on November 30, 1927. The theater is currently home to CBS’ late night talk show, The Late Show.

In 2015 the landmark theater underwent a $18 million restoration. Despite this massive restoration project, the building’s issue with unbalanced ventilation was not resolved. That is until, eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulator’s (CAR’s) were installed.

Under strict time constraints, due to the fact that the theater is virtually in continuous use, under the guidance of MG Engineering consultants, several contractors were engaged to help fix the building’s unbalanced ventilation.  These ventilation issues had led to odors permeating the building causing discomfort for performers and members of the audience. The unbalanced HVAC system left the lower levels and the basement with no effective ventilation.

All issues with the theater’s ventilation systems were quickly and efficiently solved with the installation of eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators.  eFlow-CARs instantly balanced the ventilation systems without the need for electricity or onsite balancing!

The Caravelle, 445 East 86th Street, NYC

eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators were installed at 445 East 86th Street to successfully mitigate the classic Stack Effect experienced by the tenants. 

As outside temperatures dropped, the building’s common areas experienced extremely cold temperatures due to cold draughts infiltrating the lower floors, while the top floor’s common areas experienced uncomfortable higher temperatures.  Additionally, cooking odors continuously migrated throughout the building. 

These problems were due to the phenomenon known as stack effect, which occurs in buildings when the outside air temperature is significantly different from the air temperature inside the building.

eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators automatically balance ventilation systems, mitigate Stack Effect, promote energy savings and provide better indoor air quality. 

445 East 86th Street was built in 1961. The Caravelle consists of 16 floors, made up of 153 apartments. Located on New York’s Upper East Side neighborhood, features of this building include a Roof Deck, Laundry Room, Garden, Garage, Courtyard,Bicycle Room.
