Recently, the researchers at the University of East Anglia in the UK found that food debris, soap, hair and dead skin accumulated in the sinks not only clogged the sewer, but also damaged the sewers, It will also spread the disease, causing a deadly threat.
Researchers say the warm, moist sewer U-tube is an excellent environment to promote the robust growth of microbes that can form 'biofilms' on the inside walls. Salmonella may have slipped through the sink as we wash the chicken in the kitchen Sewers; Escherichia coli can also enter the sewers from beef or other contaminated food to cause diarrhea or even life-threatening conditions; washed hair and dead skin can accumulate a Fusarium and cause permanent damage to eyesight after infection Infections of Enterobacter cloacae may cause urinary tract infections if the water pipes are connected to sewers.
However, the daily cleaning, the sink is the most easily overlooked, few people often clean it.To this end the researchers suggest that after each wash vegetables, meat and dishes, it is best to thoroughly clean the sink with a mild detergent; floor drain, etc. Also use regular cleaners such as pipe cleaners, and on weekdays, actively prevent and kill cockroaches and other pests to prevent them from becoming sources of disease in sinks.
