Understanding harms associated with gender identity conversion efforts among transgender and nonbinary individuals: The role of preexisting mental well-being

Background: Affirmation of gender identity is critical for the mental health and overall well-being of transgender and nonbinary (TNB) persons. Gender identity conversion efforts (GICE), an outlawed practice for licensed professionals in numerous U.S. jurisdictions, have been associated with negative mental health and substance use outcomes. Limited previous literature examining GICE exposure has been criticized for failing to distinguish mental well-being for TNB persons before or after GICE. Our study builds on current literature by examining differences in TNB persons’ psychosocial risk indicators based on their GICE exposure, accounting for pre-GICE mental well-being. Methods: We conducted a secondary data analysis using the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (N = 25,810), the largest available national survey aimed at understanding TNB persons’ experiences. Using logistic regression models, we examined how GICE exposure (disaggregated by temporal precedence of initial suicide attempts) is related to health (psychological distress, extra-medical prescription use, healthcare avoidance), socio-structural (public restroom avoidance, housing instability), and interpersonal outcomes (sexual assault, emotional and physical intimate partner violence (IPV)). Results and conclusions: Initiating a suicide attempt post-GICE or in the absence of GICE were the only consistently significant predictors of poor outcomes across all domains compared to participants who never experienced GICE or attempted suicide. Findings suggest, however, that a combination of GICE with a history of suicide attempts (pre- or post-GICE) was indicative of the highest risk across outcomes, highlighting the particularly hazardous nature of combining poor mental well-being and GICE exposures. Our study adds much-needed complexity to our understanding of how GICE exposure’s role in the well-being of TNB persons may differ related to their pre-GICE mental health. Our findings add further credence to previous studies identifying harms associated with GICE exposure, regardless of pre-GICE mental well-being.

Les facteurs de risque d’acquisition des infections à BMR: Etude analytique

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the prevalence of bacteria increasingly resistant to multiple families of antibiotics, which constitutes a major problem for public health. To determine the prevalence and different risk factors for the acquisition of multi-resistant bacteria. This is an analytical and prospective study including patients hospitalized in the Batna University Hospital during the period from January 2023 to March 2023 presenting a documented infection with isolation of sensitive or multi-resistant strains. An operating sheet based on the different risk factors for acquiring multi-resistant bacteria has been established. We collected 250 patients. There are 160 men and 90 women with an average age of 44 years. Of all the strains that were identified, 100 isolates were multi-resistant bacteria. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae are the most frequently isolated multi-resistant bacteria. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified four risk factors that are significantly related to the risk of acquiring multi-resistant bacteria infection: prior antibiotic therapy [P = 0,029], use of invasive medical care [P = 0,024], the nosocomial origin of the infection [P = 0,036] and the use of public toilets [P = 0,015]. Our results clearly demonstrate that the inappropriate use of antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics, and hand-held cross-transmission play a major role in the spread of multi-resistant bacteria in our hospital.

Bacteriological Tracing of Haemophilus influenzae in Some Public Toilet Seat Bowls of Port Harcourt

The study aimed at tracing Haemophilus influenzae on toilet seat bowls of some public toilets in Port Harcourt. The toilets were coded DER, TYU, AFR for park, market and hospital toilets respectively, for the purpose of the study. Swabs were collected aseptically from the toilet seat bowls, with a moistened swab stick, and then introduced into a freshly prepared sterile peptone water for viability of the Haemophilus influenza isolates. Thereafter, the spread plate technique was employed in which the swabbed samples were inoculated into Chocolate agar. Result showed toilet seat bowl coded DER had a Haemophilus influenzae mean count of 5 x 102CFU/ml while codes TYU and AFR had a mean Haemophilus influenzae counts of 6 x 102 and 9 x 102 CFU/ml respectively. A percentage frequency occurrence of Haemophilus influenzae on the toilet bowl showed DER coded toilets had 17% frequency of occurrence, while codes TYU and AFR had 25 and 58% frequency of occurrence respectively. A total of 49 isolates of Haemophilus influenzae were identified macroscopically and biochemically. The presence of Haemophilus influenzae on surface of toilet seat bowl may have resulted from aerosols generated during flushing. Thus, influenza infection (respiratory tract infection) may affect users. Hence, toilet seats, specifically, codes AFR class of toilets should be closed before and after flushing at all times.

Impacts of gaps below both door and partition walls of cubicles on odorous gas transport and respiratory infection in a public lavatory

Odorous gas transport and respiratory infection in a public lavatory are highly subject to the adopted ventilation system. The gaps below both the cubicle door and the partition walls can affect the ventilation performance. This study employed a validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program to investigate a public lavatory containing four cubicles with squat toilets. The airflow, concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, and respiratory infection risk during use of the toilet were modeled. Odorous gases were released from the squat pan, while the pathogens resulting in respiratory infection were released by the exhalation of the toilet users. A total of seven different gap designs were considered, including designs without any gap, with a gap below only the cubicle door in three different gap heights, and gaps in three different heights below both the door and the partition walls. In addition, the use of a single central air exhaust and the use of multiple air exhausts were compared. The results revealed that the air from the gap below each cubicle door can effectively dilute the odorous gases released from the squat pan, whereas the gap below the partition walls was not shown to be favorable. The use of multiple air exhausts restrains the pollutant's spread and reduces the respiratory infection risk.

Menakar Tingkat Kepuasan Wisatawan: Kunci Keberhasilan Pengembangan Amenitas Pantai Slili sebagai Destinasi Wisata Bahari

Tourist satisfaction serves as a crucial indicator of successful tourism development. It is imperative for managers to periodically assess the tourism facilities to gauge the destinations' quality through the visitors' perspective. Therefore, this study endeavors to assess the level of tourist satisfaction regarding the tourism facilities at Slili Beach. A total of 100 respondents participated in the questionnaire, which was subsequently analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The findings revealed that tourists exhibited dissatisfaction with public toilet facilities and trash bins, with percentages of 42.25% and 38.75%, respectively. Conversely, tourists expressed contentment with rest area facilities, parking, and places of worship, with percentages of 51.34%, 47.71%, and 45.5%, respectively. However, the availability of disabled facilities left 61.5% of tourists significantly dissatisfied. These findings underscore the need for managers to address the discrepancies between tourists' expectations and the actual offerings at Slili Beach. Consequently, there is a pressing need for managers to enhance the quality of tourism facilities to ensure and bolster tourist satisfaction. Furthermore, future research endeavors could explore the correlation between tourist satisfaction and the inclination to revisit, providing managers with compelling reasons to continually improve the quality of facilities at marine tourism destinations.

Риск распространения COVID-19 среди медицинских работников Самарской области в стационарах различного типа

The purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiological risk for medical workers in the pandemic spread of a new coronavirus infection in various types of medical organizations. Materials and methods. The results of epidemiological surveillance of the staff of the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution of the Samara region «Samara City Clinical Hospital № 2 named after N.A. Semashko» in the number of 631 people, according to the protocols of 132 commissions for the prevention of infections related to the provision of medical care for the period from January 2021 to December 2022. Information from 1318 reports No. 1035 «Monitoring on the number of cases of coronavirus infection, including community-acquired pneumonia, and deaths» in the Samara region from the Rospotrebnadzor information system from April 22, 2020 to December 31, 2022 in terms of the total number of COVID-19 patients per day, the number of infected medical workers per day, the number of infected people in medical organizations. The results of the analysis of 11 scientific articles on the topic of the characteristics of epidemic foci in the teams of medical workers. Results and discussions. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of developing national bed resources and the human resources of medical workers, taking into account the need for rapid conversion of somatic hospitals. Doctors, mid-level and junior medical personnel are at higher risk of infection both through contact with patients if they do not follow the rules for using PPE, and when interacting with each other. Repurposed somatic hospitals (GBUZ SB «SOKB named after V.D. Seredavina», FGBI VO «Clinics of SamSMU»), in comparison with a specialized infectious diseases hospital (GBUZ SB «GBS № 6»), due to the peculiarities of construction and planning solutions, represent an environment with a higher risk of infection of medical personnel, which requires additional organizational preventive measures. In addition to the general requirements of biological safety in the repurposed red zone, a comprehensive formation of a safe working environment is required, including such components as: organization of rest rooms for staff separately from the residents, development and observance of a meal schedule to eliminate the intersection of personnel flows as much as possible, digitalization of medical documentation, time-limited reception of biomaterial in the laboratory, issuance of the results of research through an electronic information system. Keywords: COVID-19, nosocomial component, epidemic outbreak, medical personnel, PPE, risk of infection, organization of the working environment.

Investigation of the influence mechanism of park usage intensity and flexibility based on multi-source data: a case study of pocket parks in Beijing

This study selected 24 highly popular pocket parks in Beijing and conducted field research to collect data on park use during weekdays and weekends. SPSS correlation analysis and the development of a decision tree model were used to rank the key factors that influence the flexibility and intensity of park use on weekdays and weekends. The findings indicated that the key factors impacting the flexibility and intensity of park use on weekdays, in order of importance, are seat density, recreation facilities density, land use entropy (LUE), distance to a public toilet, POI density, and 5-min accessibility. On the other hand, the main factors influencing the flexibility and intensity of park use on weekends are 5-min accessibility, seat density, POI density, fitness facilities density, distance to the bus stop, distance to a public toilet, and life service facilities density. These findings offer valuable insights for the study of pocket parks in other cities.

A Feminist Critical Analysis of Public Toilets and Gender: A Systematic Review

This systematic review explores how the provision and experience of public toilets in urban spaces are gendered in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. A search of 4 bibliographic databases resulted in 19 articles for inclusion. Data were analyzed using a feminist critical perspective and the United Nations (UN) framework on standards to assess the provision of sanitation in public spaces. The framework criteria include availability; accessibility; affordability; quality and safety; and acceptability, privacy, and dignity. This review demonstrates that more public toilets that consider the needs of all genders are needed, and it offers guidance to policymakers, planners, and funders on what to consider when planning and building them.

Urban vibrancy and air pollution: avoidance behaviour and the built environment

ABSTRACT Urban vibrancy can be captured by people’s out-of-home mobility. It is an essential indicator of the ‘liveliness’ of cities. Nowadays, many cities, however, are suffering from air pollution, which is harmful to human health. As such, health authorities are advising people, especially vulnerable groups with respiratory or other chronic diseases, to avoid out-of-home activities and travels on polluted days. With such avoidance behaviour, how would urban vibrancy decline in response to air pollution? How does the built environment moderate such declines? Applying spatial econometric approaches on panel data comprising social media check-in records, air quality index, meteorological conditions and built environment characteristics, this paper delves into the relationship between air pollution and urban vibrancy in Guangzhou using fine spatial (1km*1 km grids) and temporal (daily) data over two years from 2018 to 2019. The research findings provide clear evidence that air pollution is negatively associated with urban vibrancy. Furthermore, our study suggests that urban vibrancy of places with higher points of interest intensity and being farther away from the city centre are more affected by air pollution, whereas vibrancy of places with higher public transport convenience, smaller blocks, and higher functional mixture tend to be less vulnerable. The findings provide evidence-based implications for city governments to better understand and capture gains of urban vibrancy from pollution regulations and built environment design for sustainable urban development. The lessons learned are applicable to other cities with emerging air pollution problems.

Smart Public Toilet Management and Monitoring System using IOT

This paper addresses the pervasive issue of inadequate public sanitation in various regions of India and slums, marked by rampant urination and poorly maintained public toilets. Despite significant governmental expenditure and efforts to maintain cleanliness, the absence of a centralized monitoring mechanism renders these endeavors ineffective. To overcome this challenge, the paper proposes an Internet of Things (IOT)-based toilet monitoring system utilizing a web server and a mobile cleaner application. The system aims to simplify monitoring processes for toilet cleaners and administrators by tracking multiple cleaning metrics and providing real-time alerts based on user input. The motivation behind this project stems from the alarming state of hygiene in government schools, where students or teachers often bear the responsibility of cleaning due to labor shortages and insufficient funds. The relevance of the proposed system lies in its potential to revolutionize the maintenance of school and public toilets, addressing the unhygienic conditions prevalent in India. The novelty of the system includes features like automatic water flush, UV sanitization, timely floor cleaning, automatic sanitary pad vending, water monitoring, smell detection, and automatic ventilation, all facilitated through IOT technology. By presenting a cost-effective and efficient solution, this research contributes to the improvement of public sanitation in various settings, including homes, schools, colleges, hospitals, businesses, and industries, thereby promoting urban sanitation in the contemporary environment

Rancang Bangun Sistem Pemantau Ketersediaan Sabun dan Tisu pada Toilet Bandara Berbasis IoT

Public toilets, especially at airports, play an important role in ensuring the comfort and cleanliness of traveling passengers. The unavailability of tissue and soap in toilets is often a problem at airports. This research aims to develop a soap and tissue monitoring system in airport toilets based on the Internet of Things (IoT) using Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) technology and the Thingsboard platform. The prototype system for monitoring the availability of airport soap and toilet tissue was successfully created using an Arduino Nano, SIM7000C and was able to communicate with the Thingsboard via the MQTT protocol, making it possible to monitor the availability of sanitation facilities in real-time. The measurement results show that the device can operate well using an IMR 18650 battery for up to 27 hours. This system is able to provide information on the level of contents of soap containers and the capacity of available tissue along with its location. This research underlines the potential of IoT technology in overcoming the problem of unavailability of soap and tissue, aimed at increasing user comfort and maintaining the cleanliness of public facilities at airports.

Integration of water and sanitation facilities programs for menstruation management: a focus on university planning and budgeting processes at Kyambogo University, Uganda

AbstractThis study investigated the integration of water and sanitation facilities' programs for menstruation management with a focus on university planning and budgeting processes at Kyambogo University. The study employed qualitative methods of data collection and analysis from students and members of the university's top management. Findings revealed that there is limited engagement of female and male students in the budgeting and planning of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management by the estates department; more so, the generic budget does not adequately cover all the requirements for menstruation management by female students, and female students perceive water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management as generally available but inaccessible and unacceptable in various ways. Thus, the study generates knowledge about the status of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management to enable female students to participate in academic activities in higher education institutions by recommending that the Directorate of Planning and Development at Kyambogo University should promote a participatory and gender‐equity inclusive plan and budget that ensures that water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management become an integral aspect in planning and budgeting processes of the estates department. The university should equitably improve the current status of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management by providing specific water in toilet rooms including changing rooms, replacement of broken doors to provide privacy, and other required facilities to enhance effective menstruation management.

Regional Planning for Just and Reasonable Rates

Natural gas—a fuel used for electricity generation, heating, and transportation—plays an outsized role in the U.S. economy. Under the Natural Gas Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or the Commission) is responsible for overseeing the orderly development of interstate natural gas pipelines, which facilitate the transmission of natural gas throughout the country. Before a developer can construct or expand an interstate pipeline, it must apply to FERC for authoriza-tion; FERC can approve the pipeline only if it finds that it is required by the “public convenience and necessity.” Although FERC should consid-er a range of factors to determine whether a pipeline will serve the public interest, in practice, it looks primarily to the existence of prece-dent agreements, i.e., contracts between a developer and its customers for the purchase of pipeline capacity. If a developer can demonstrate that there is a party willing to pay to use its pipeline, FERC rarely asks questions and almost always finds “public” need. In this way, the natu-ral gas transmission network has developed through a system of ad hoc decisionmaking organized around the needs of private companies that earn a hefty return on their capital investments.
 This pipeline-by-pipeline approach to natural gas transmission build-out leads to the construction of unnecessary, underused pipe-lines, which in turn increases ratepayer costs and decreases consumer welfare. Climate change further increases the risk that pipelines will become obsolete as cities and states move toward electrification. Fur-thermore, the gas transmission planning process—or lack thereof—stands in stark contrast to electric transmission planning, an activity that FERC also regulates but that is conducted by centralized entities on a regional scale. This contrast is especially confounding consider-ing that electric transmission is regulated under the Federal Power Act, a sister law to the Natural Gas Act with similar statutory require-ments.
 Relying on economic theory, legal history, and policy analysis, we make the case for FERC’s adoption of regional gas transmission plan-ning. We begin by describing the status quo and articulating why FERC’s current process is economically inefficient. In doing so, we draw parallels between gas and electric transmission planning and de-scribe how FERC treats the two activities inconsistently. We then ex-plain why, under two provisions of the Natural Gas Act, FERC possesses both the legal authority and obligation to require regional planning. Finally, we envision how FERC might conduct gas transmission plan-ning going forward, encouraging FERC to account for increasing elec-trification efforts and to plan for gas and electric transmission in tan-dem.

Comparing GPT-4 and Human Researchers in Health Care Data Analysis: Qualitative Description Study.

Large language models including GPT-4 (OpenAI) have opened new avenues in health care and qualitative research. Traditional qualitative methods are time-consuming and require expertise to capture nuance. Although large language models have demonstrated enhanced contextual understanding and inferencing compared with traditional natural language processing, their performance in qualitative analysis versus that of humans remains unexplored. We evaluated the effectiveness of GPT-4 versus human researchers in qualitative analysis of interviews with patients with adult-acquired buried penis (AABP). Qualitative data were obtained from semistructured interviews with 20 patients with AABP. Human analysis involved a structured 3-stage process-initial observations, line-by-line coding, and consensus discussions to refine themes. In contrast, artificial intelligence (AI) analysis with GPT-4 underwent two phases: (1) a naïve phase, where GPT-4 outputs were independently evaluated by a blinded reviewer to identify themes and subthemes and (2) a comparison phase, where AI-generated themes were compared with human-identified themes to assess agreement. We used a general qualitative description approach. The study population (N=20) comprised predominantly White (17/20, 85%), married (12/20, 60%), heterosexual (19/20, 95%) men, with a mean age of 58.8 years and BMI of 41.1 kg/m2. Human qualitative analysis identified "urinary issues" in 95% (19/20) and GPT-4 in 75% (15/20) of interviews, with the subtheme "spray or stream" noted in 60% (12/20) and 35% (7/20), respectively. "Sexual issues" were prominent (19/20, 95% humans vs 16/20, 80% GPT-4), although humans identified a wider range of subthemes, including "pain with sex or masturbation" (7/20, 35%) and "difficulty with sex or masturbation" (4/20, 20%). Both analyses similarly highlighted "mental health issues" (11/20, 55%, both), although humans coded "depression" more frequently (10/20, 50% humans vs 4/20, 20% GPT-4). Humans frequently cited "issues using public restrooms" (12/20, 60%) as impacting social life, whereas GPT-4 emphasized "struggles with romantic relationships" (9/20, 45%). "Hygiene issues" were consistently recognized (14/20, 70% humans vs 13/20, 65% GPT-4). Humans uniquely identified "contributing factors" as a theme in all interviews. There was moderate agreement between human and GPT-4 coding (κ=0.401). Reliability assessments of GPT-4's analyses showed consistent coding for themes including "body image struggles," "chronic pain" (10/10, 100%), and "depression" (9/10, 90%). Other themes like "motivation for surgery" and "weight challenges" were reliably coded (8/10, 80%), while less frequent themes were variably identified across multiple iterations. Large language models including GPT-4 can effectively identify key themes in analyzing qualitative health care data, showing moderate agreement with human analysis. While human analysis provided a richer diversity of subthemes, the consistency of AI suggests its use as a complementary tool in qualitative research. With AI rapidly advancing, future studies should iterate analyses and circumvent token limitations by segmenting data, furthering the breadth and depth of large language model-driven qualitative analyses.

Assessment of the Problems Associated with the use of Public Latrine System in Ife-North Local Government, Osun State, Nigeria

Public toilets are an essential means of sanitation in some developed countries and have been the only possible alternative for many people living in low-income, heavily populated, and informal settlements. The aim of this study was to assess the problems associated with the use of public latrine system in Ife-north local government, Osun State. The data used for the study were obtained through well-structured questionnaires. A total of 181 questionnaires were distributed and 150 questionnaires were retrieved, while 31 questionnaires were missing. The respondents were selected randomly for the study. The descriptive statistics showed that male respondents were the major participants in this study. 80% of the respondents in the study area had access to public toilet. The respondents identified Sit latrine as the major type of latrine system available in the area. This study revealed that majority (40.66%) of the households used the latrine every day and the latrine was being maintained properly by the community. The result of this study showed that 86.66% of the respondents were reported to have contacted diseases as a result of public latrine use. This study has shown that poor maintenance of practice exposed the users of latrine to various diseases. This study recommended that Community leaders must ensure that users have been sensitized on the correct use, appropriate maintenance, hand washing and other basic hygiene practices Keywords: Public toilets, sanitation, developed countries

Accessibility to WASH and waste management services in African urban informal settlements: A comparative analysis

Abstract The study investigates the existing scenario and spatial distribution pattern disparity of service distribution of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and waste management services (WMS) in urban informal settlements within the Zaria metropolis and generates recommendations for the policymakers for improvements. The study highlights challenges in urban settlements, including insufficient water, sanitation, and waste services, contributing to diseases like diarrhea and cholera. It stresses the importance of better water quality, sanitation, and waste management, and highlights the impact of governance and policies on service gaps. It also suggests using collaborative methods and technologies like GIS for solutions, employing GIS and statistics to analyze service availability and access for residents. The findings underscore the dominant role of the private sector in water treatment plant distribution (71.43%) over public facilities (28.57%). It highlights disparities in toilet types between public and private spaces: pit toilets (55.11%) are prevalent in public restrooms, while the data indicate that most water sources are poorly maintained: Only 0.50% of boreholes are newly constructed, while a significant 43.15% are poorly maintained, and 30.62% are well maintained. Moreover, private toilets are predominantly pit toilets, constituting 3.11% of the total, with no water closets toilets reported.

A retrospective study on cholera understanding and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) behavior among adolescents in three regions of La Gonâve, Haiti

BackgroundsThis study assesses the impact of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) interventions on cholera understanding and hygiene practices in La Gonâve Island, Haiti. It examines the changes after implementing interventions in seven villages across the Downtown, Mountain, and Seaside regions. MethodsA retrospective investigation surveyed 210 school students from each region using a validated questionnaire. It assessed knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP), and environmental aspects related to cholera and hygiene. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. ResultsThe study highlights significant disparities in education levels, toilet ownership, and healthcare access. Challenges in finding public toilets (86.67%) and accessing water sources (67.78%) are consistent across regions, with Seaside facing financial constraints (85.00%) and water cost concerns (91.67%). Attitudes toward hygiene vary, with the Mountain region having the highest ‘Never’ responses for handwashing (38.89%), and Downtown leading in water treatment practices (11.67%). There is a strong willingness to share health knowledge, particularly in Downtown (100.00%). Seaside (83.33%) and Downtown (73.33%) revealed a higher cholera awareness, while nearly half of Mountain students lacked knowledge (54.44%). ConclusionsThis study highlights significant disparities in WASH practices among La Gonâve's adolescents in Downtown, Mountain, and Seaside regions. Urgent interventions are crucial for improving sanitation, ensuring clean water access, and implementing targeted hygiene education, especially in the resource-constrained Mountain and Seaside areas. The findings underscore the vital roles of adolescents and schools in disseminating knowledge, with further research needed to explore intervention differences.

The Day I Got My Period at the Museum

The author unexpectedly gets her period when she is visiting the Museum of the City of New York and uses the incident to explore how women’s desire to be free is thwarted when period products are not available in public restrooms. The author touches upon several aspects of menstrual equity—period stigma, outdated and empty dispensers, tampon tax, menstruating while homeless or incarcerated, and trans bodies that menstruate. Building on Judy Grahn’s idea that all culture is a result of women’s menstrual rites, the author points out the absurdity of not accommodating menstruating bodies in high-culture spaces like museums and asks for modern vending machines for period products in public restrooms.

Ozone generation and chemistry from 222 nm germicidal ultraviolet light in a fragrant restroom.

Devices using 222 nm germicidal ultraviolet light (GUV222) have been marketed to reduce virus transmission indoors with low risk of occupant harm from direct UV exposure. GUV222 generates ozone, an indoor air pollutant and oxidant, under constrained laboratory conditions, but the chemistry byproducts of GUV222-generated ozone in real indoor spaces is uncharacterized. We deployed GUV222 in a public restroom, with an air change rate of 1 h-1 one weekend and 2 h-1 the next, to measure ozone formation and byproducts generated from ozone chemistry indoors. Ozone from GUV222 increased background concentrations by 5 ppb on average for both weekends and reacted rapidly (e.g., at rates of 3.7 h-1 for the first weekend and 2.0 h-1 for the second) with gas-phase precursors emitted by urinal screens and on surfaces. These ozone reactions generated volatile organic compound and aerosol byproducts (e.g., up to 2.6 μg m-3 of aerosol mass). We find that GUV222 is enhancing indoor chemistry by at least a factor of two for this restroom. The extent of this enhanced chemistry will likely be different for different indoor spaces and is dependent upon ventilation rates, species and concentrations of precursor VOCs, and surface reactivity. Informed by our measurements of ozone reactivity and background aerosol concentrations, we present a framework for predicting aerosol byproduct formation from GUV222 that can be extended to other indoor spaces. Further research is needed to understand how typical uses of GUV222 could impact air quality in chemically diverse indoor spaces and generate indoor air chemistry byproducts that can affect human health.
