In other words, the International Space Station has much more microbes. Why? For astronauts to be much healthier.
So how will this be?
Gravity actually brings many risks of discomfort.
In the middle of these, organ functions and organs of the organs are wasted, bone weakness and various muscle damage. In addition, different inflammation conditions and immune system disorders that accompany skin rashes can also affect astronauts.
Compared to the research of scientists a few months ago, all of these health problems may be due to the fact that the International Space Station is more than sterile. Although this possibility sounds surprising in the first stage, more germs, which are more than the findings of research, mean healthier people.
This study is the most comprehensive one in the midst of space.
Because in the research group, there are different experts and professors from about 5 universities. In one -to -one time, this study is carried out with astronauts at the International Space Station. Even the shares of astronauts in this research are very large.
For example, they take a sample of reptiles from 803 different surfaces to obtain the number of germs at the station. Researchers also determine which bacterial types and chemicals are in each sample.
Then they form 3D maps that show where each bacteria and microbes are located and in which cases they can interact with.
All awareness comes with the results.
It seems that the space station between the countries has a much lower microbe diversity than multiple environment in the world. In fact, the chemicals in the paklik works and disinfectants at the station compared to the researchers are spread to each point.
In addition, astronauts carry germs to their environment through their own skin cells. Different areas again, different microbes are also owned by housing. For example, the toilets at the International Space Station carry more urinary and feces germs, while eating and cooking areas have more food germs.
However, these germs communities are inadequate both in number and variety compared to a random environment of the Earth. In addition, the surfaces of the station, compared to the findings, are not encountered with environmental germs found in water and soil.
The solution seems quite easy.
Compared to this research of scientists, water and microbes in the soil should be included in the inter -country space stations. If something can be done, astronauts can be much healthier than sacrificing general hygiene.
The result we can reach here is quite open. Hygiene is valuable, of course, but in fact, we need reasonable dimensions of all kinds of germs and bacteria. The lack of one or more of them can adversely affect the human health.
