You can get all kinds of diseases, which is the most polluted place in the airport itself.

If you want to stay healthy during your trip to the airport, you must wash your hands several times. A new study revealed that the dirtiest place at the airport is plastic bins we use to put our personals or shoes on.

The study, published in the magazine BMC Infectious Diseases, found viruses in half of tray samples at Helsinki Airport in Finland.

“The plastic objects used during security control were extremely contaminated,” write researchers. These boxes are potentially affected by several hundred passengers a day, and the survival of the virus is known to last.

Passengers do not have many solutions to the use of widely distributed baskets. What was surprising during the study is that airport baths had hygiene many times better than plastic boxes. No virus was found in most of the toilet areas studied by scientists.
