英國每日電訊:中國科學家研制新式武器,清除公共廁所中的難聞臭味兒.中國科學院的研究人員表示,最多能有75%的臭味被清除掉,其余的則可以通過自然,令人感到舒適的香氣蓋掉.這種不可思議的魔力主要來自于乳酸菌屬的細菌,它們以人類的廢棄物為食,釋放出乳酸,能夠抑制大多數產生臭味的細菌的生長繁殖.

The Telegraph: After three years of research, Chinese scientists say they can turn even the most putrid public lavatory into a sweet-smelling sanctuary.

Many people believe that entering a public lavatory in China can be a horrifying experience.

In smaller cities, or the countryside, the sight of an open trench, coupled with a suffocating stench of sulphur and ammonia, is often enough to send even the bravest tourist whimpering back to their hotel.

Today, however, Chinese scientists have claimed victory in their battle to improve public rest rooms, unveiling a bacterial spray that can, they say, almost eliminate the smell of putrefaction.
