A short video has been released to accompany the findings, which can be viewed HERE.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe results from the study revealed that objects such as backpacks picked up:\nHundreds of thousands of germs throughout the dayAs many germs from a desk as from a public bathroom floorAs many germs from a desk as from a public cafeteria floorAs many germs as were found on a toilet seat in a previous study2As many germs as were found on a garbage bin in a previous study3E. coli and intestinal bacteria that may cause sicknessA fungal species of yeast (Candida) that may cause sepsis, and wound or tissue infections in immunocompromised people\"Germs are everywhere,\" said Dr. Igor Ignatovich, Senior Microbiologist within the Equity, Claims, and Compliance Group at Reckitt. \"They move among people and on surfaces, sometimes causing illnesses that could impact our families or impact our daily activities. Items we least suspect can often be culprits for spreading germs, as shown by our study.\"\nIn the study, Lysol Pro Solutions' team of microbiologists, led by Dr. Ignatovich, measured the contamination levels on the backpacks of five different volunteers as they moved through business facilities throughout the day. Backpacks were chosen to represent how similar everyday items can be responsible for transmitting germs. The backpacks came into contact with a surface for about two minutes, three times a day for two days. The following surfaces were used: the communal bathroom floor, the work desk, and the cafeteria floor.\n\"The results demonstrate that using a backpack throughout the day leads to the accumulation of a significant number of germs,\" continued Dr. Ignatovich. \"Like many other items we carry with us each day, these could be significant vectors of germ transmission. Using effective cleaning and disinfecting products to make the right hygiene interventions, at the right time, and in the right places, can help break the chain of transmission and prevent the spread of germs between surfaces in business environments and homes, and to humans directly.\"\nExperts such as Lysol Pro Solutions can provide an understanding of different germs and how they spread via surfaces and objects such as backpacks, so businesses can deploy effective products and protocols that help protect against cold, flu, and a broad range of other common workplace viruses and bacteria. \nABOUT LYSOL® PRO SOLUTIONSReckitt's Lysol Pro Solutions harnesses the power of Lysol to help protect businesses and public spaces from the spread of germs.
