'Unsanitary' hand dryers in third of schools

A third of New Zealand's schools are using hand dryers that are potentially leaving children's hands dirtier than when they left the toilet cubicle.
The findings come from a study in which 400 New Zealand parents and 100 schools were asked about washroom hygiene.
SCA Hygiene Australasia commissioned the study in a bid to learn more about washroom behaviour, fears about the upcoming flu season and the best way to reduce bacteria on hands during the drying process.

Kiwi parents want schools to help prevent spread of flu
New study shows warm air dryers increase hand bacteria by 254%
With the winter flu season upon us – and the impact of last year’s swine flu epidemic still fresh in people’s minds – Kiwi parents are calling for schools to improve their washroom hygiene as a crucial part of protecting their children from colds and flus this winter.
A new survey by BIS Shrapnel shows that, although most schools have installed warm air dryers or paper towel dispensers, many people were unaware of the difference between the two when it comes to clean hands.
