Most household available today use either squat or seat toilet. However, both of the toilets use the water to transfer the waste to the nearest sewer system or septic tank. The water inside the toilet bowl could attract the Aedes mosquitoes which are the preferred breeding areas of the female mosquito. Also known as Aedes Aegypti, the life cycle of an Aedes mosquito can be completed within one and a half to 3 weeks to tum from an egg to a full grown adult mosquito. The mosquito will go through 4 stages in their lifecycle. The stages are the eggs, larva, pupa and lastly turn into an adult mosquito [1]. Only the female Aedes mosquito will bites as it needs the protein in the blood to develop its eggs. After the female Aedes mosquito took its blood meal, the mosquito will produce on average 80-100 eggs per batch. The female can produce up to 3 to 5 batches of eggs during its entire lifetime. The female Aedes mosquito preferred breeding area are in areas of stagnant water such as flower vases, discarded tyres, tins and the most dangerous areas are wet shower floors and toilet bowls, as the mosquito will be allowed to breed inside the residence. Moreover, the design of the new toilet bowl required further understanding on the Bernoulli's principle. The U-shaped drain pipe act as a siphon tube where the atmospheric pressure on the outside of the toilet bowl start to push the water into the drain pipe as soon as the air inside the U-shaped pipe is eliminated (2). The absence of air inside the U-shaped pipe was due to the large amount of water poured down when the user flush 2024-08-26T04:50:37Z 2024-08-26T04:50:37Z 2015 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/33338 en application/pdf |
