1moOdor-Free, Water-Less Infections-Free and Echo-Friendly Toilet and Urinal When we are in the toilet, the bad smell of our stools comes and we use perfumes to remove the smell but the perfume smell and stool smell mix and produce some harmful environment. We feel uneasy at the time of stooling it disturbs our mood for some time till we go to fresh air. When we use a public toilet then there is a long Q and people go one by one the environment of the bathroom is terrible and the danger of infection is very high and many people get many kinds of diseases like E.coli, skin infections, and burning sensation in urine. So, I designed an eco-friendly toilet and urinal.
