ABSTRACT:
An environmentally controlled toilet designed to neutralize and confine contaminating agents such as bacteria, odors, vapors and other airborne particles inside the bowl by generating and maintaining a cyclone-type air circulation inside the bowl. A bowl (70) with a housing (20), and an air-trapping cavity (76) created inside the bowl (70) by a bowl-skirt (73), confines the contaminating agents during toilet use and improves the efficiency of the air circulation. Sanitizer and odor conditioner cartridges (31) are employed to neutralize the contaminating agents by releasing sanitizing and odor conditioning agents into the air flow circulated inside the bowl (70). A toilet seat (82) having an ergonomic design has a protective skirt (87) that accommodates a hygienic-shield (100). A solution to body heat loss and noise contamination during toilet use is also addressed. The invention is retrofitable to existing toilets, and is applicable to portable toilet systems including children's training toilets.
