2. OVERVIEW The number of different types of toilets used on a worldwide level is large. Toilet types can be categorized as: With water as odor seal. Without water as odor seal. Types by usage posture. Public toilet. 2

3. Toilet with water as odor seal 3

4. Connected to a flush tank that enables rapid water flow to drain sewage to septic tank or into a system connected with sewage treatment plan. Flush toilet 4

5. These types of toilet  include features such as automatic-flushing mechanisms; water jets or "bottom washers"; blow dryers; or artificial flush sounds to mask noises.  Others include medical monitoring features such as urine and stool analysis and the checking of blood pressure, temperature, and blood sugar.  2.

6. 3. Vacuum toilet A vacuum toilet is a flush toilet that requires very little flushing water and is connected to a  vacuum sewer system . For example, they are used on planes and on trains  6

7. Without water as an odor seal 7

8. A simple pit latrine uses no water seal and collects human excreta in a pit or trench. The excreta drop directly into the pit via a drop hole. They are common in rural or peri-urban areas in many developing countries. Pit latrines are also used in emergency sanitation situations. The pit or trench can be dug large enough so that the pit can be used for many years before it fills up. 1 . Pit latrine with direct drop 8

9.  When the pit becomes full, it may be emptied or the hole covered with earth and the pit latrine relocated. Pit latrines have to be located away from drinking water sources to minimize the possibility of disease spread via groundwater pollution. 9

10. 2. Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrine Low cost and simple alternative to the traditional pit latrines. Waste drops into the pit where it decomposes and liquids percolate into the surrounding and bottom soil. Vent pipe removes smell and vents gases to the atmosphere. The fly screen acts as a flytrap for insects entering the pit, attracting them towards the light at the top of the vent pipe 10

12. 3. Vault toilet A vault toilet is a non-flush toilet just like a simple pit latrine with a sealed container (or vault) buried in the ground to receive the excreta, all of which is contained underground until it is removed by pumping. 12

13. 4. Urine-diverting dry toilet Urine diversion toilets have two compartments for urine and feces. A urine-diverting dry toilet uses no water for flushing, and keeps urine and feces separate.   It can be linked to systems which reuse excreta as a fertilizer. 13

14. 5. Portable toilet The  portable toilet  is used on construction sites, film locations, and large outdoor gatherings where there are no other facilities. They are typically self-contained units that are made to be easily moved 14

15. 6. Chemical toilet Chemical toilets collect human excreta in a holding tank and use chemicals to minimize odors. They do not require a connection to a water supply and are used in a variety of situations. Aircraft lavatories and passenger train toilets were in the past often designed as chemical toilets but are nowadays more likely to be vacuum toilets. 15

16. Types by usage posture 16

17. 1. Toilet with a pedestal for sitting Sitting toilets are often referred as "western-style toilets". Sitting toilets are more convenient than squat toilets for people with disabilities and the elderly. 17

18. 2. Squat toilet Used in a squatting position rather than sitting. The defecation posture used is to place one foot on each side of the toilet drain or hole and to squat over it. Squatting toilets are common in many Asian and African countries, and are norm in most Muslim countries. 18

19. Public Toilet 19

20. A toilet easily accessible to public. It may be of government or privately owned. Allows public access, such as a department store, or it may be limited to the business's customers, such as a restaurant. If its use requires a fee, it is also called a pay toilet. The entire room, or a stall or cubicle containing a toilet, is lockable. There must be varying degrees of separation between men and women and different levels of privacy. 20
