The light which is not harmful to humans is activated only when the lavatory is unoccupied.
Boeing engineers have shown during tests, the prototype toilet cubicle steriliser kills almost 100% bacteria and germs within 3 seconds, minimising growth and potential transmission of micro organisms
UV lights positioned throughout the lavatory flood the touch surfaces like, the toilet seat, wash basin, and countertops with sanitising UV light after a person exits the lavatory.
"Were trying to alleviate the anxiety of using a restroom that gets well worked during a flight" said Jeanne Yu, Boeing Airplanes Director of of Environmental Performance
The design also incorporates a handsfree water mixer, soap dispenser, hand drier, and handsfree door latch system, all to keep the toilet and lavatory as hygienic as possible between scheduled cleaning services.
Boeings "Clean Lavatory System" is a finalist for the Crystal Cabin award due to be announced in April 2016 at the Hamburg Aircraft Interiors Expo.
