Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008038028A2] A toilet (10) is provided which comprises a toilet bowl (12) and an odour extraction apparatus (13). The toilet bowl (12) has a flush water inlet (18) and an odour extraction outlet (20) communicable with the odour extraction apparatus (13). At least a portion of the odour extraction outlet (20) is located higher up the toilet bowl than the flush water inlet (18). In this way, the toilet (10) ensures that odoriferous gases are extracted from the toilet bowl (12) without a significant amount of flush water being extracted through the outlet (20) at the same time.
