The use of hand dryers in public restrooms has been a topic of debate regarding their potential to spread viruses and bacteria. Research indicates that high-speed jet air dryers can spread more germs compared to traditional warm air dryers and paper towels. This is because the powerful air streams can blow bacteria and viruses from hands and surfaces into the air, increasing the risk of contamination.
However, it is important to note that proper handwashing is crucial in preventing the spread of germs. Drying hands thoroughly, regardless of the method, is an essential step in maintaining hygiene.

在公共洗手間使用乾手機是否會傳播病毒和細菌一直是爭論的話題。研究指出,相較於傳統的暖風乾手機和紙巾,高速噴射式空氣乾手機可能散播更多細菌。這是因為強大的氣流可以將手上和(機身)表面的細菌和病毒吹到空氣中,增加污染的風險。
不過,必須注意的是,正確的洗手方式對於防止細菌傳播是非常重要的。無論使用何種方法,徹底擦乾雙手都是保持衛生的必要步驟。
