But... I always thought the bad smell was a way of warning the brain that the area was not sanitary/safe? This is like removing the pain from an open wound. I don't see the point.
Yeah this sounds like trying way too hard to treat symptoms, and do nothing about the actual problem. Maybe just clean the place up? Probably a lot cheaper?
Aaron It would only be an issue if the toilets created a less sanitary situation than people defecting in the open. The smell itself isn't what is unsanitary. By your logic, we shouldn't be using pain relievers or anti-inflammatory medication.
it's more like removing the pain from a wound someone knows is there (since they know toilets are dirty) in order to solve a bigger problem - say, (irrelevant to the video) salmonella
Jennifer Ronzello Poor logic. Pain is directly in response to noxious. Sense of Olfaction is a continuous function of monitoring the quality of air we breathe. Two very different applications.
Randomized it's not weird it's just the image u had in your mind of being rich was just something else which bill gates don't follow he just don't give a crap about his style real genuine genius people really don't give a crap about looks that's the fact they r more aware about their work cause they know their time is limited.
Bill Gates, you are such and amazing human being! You are generous, intelligent and helpful. You are a great inspiration to me and a lot of other people.
These are all outhouses so they'll smell bad even after cleaning. And it's hard for a foundation to have a broad impact through implementation of cleaning schedules or something of this sort in the most messy areas.
I love Bill n Malinda Gates work. As much as one of the fastest developing cities in the world there is still a problem of hygiene in my city Ahmedabad as shown in the video.
Ok you brilliant guy, listen you can't clean toilets forever as many people will go in and out everyday. So not only is daily sanitization hard to acheive, but every toilet is a COMMUNITY TOILET as many people will have have to share only a couple at best, so everything will be packed and have no time for cleaning. Also, who will clean it? you can't just employ a person forever and supply them with cleaning liquids and new supplies, mops and stuff every week.
imo this is one of the weirder issues that gates has tried to solve, or at least one of the weirder solutions offered. the solution proposed is to "cancel" out the odour, similar to how noise canceling works for sound. but that doesn't really tackle the underlying issue, that the bacteria producing the foul odour is still there and is potentially be harmful for people using public restrooms. sure, "odour cancelling" can encourage more people to use restrooms, and restrooms are significantly better than the alternative; but i can imagine solving the fecal bacteria problem in public restrooms to yield a much better impact to third world countries... or maybe this is just a much simpler and more achievable goal in the short term.

Though no smell encourages usage of these bathrooms, the potentially harmful bacteria/fungi causing the smell wouldn't be killed, just their smell deactivated. This means even if this works, the harmful stuff is still present in the air or surfaces of these bathrooms. So I highly doubt this could actualy be a solution for the world's defecation problem.
While the benefits are obvious, an argument against such opulence is the disturbance caused by false positive unnecessary treatment for the procatalepsis, but also signaled rather obviously from your unique benefit to this more overt approach; as I successfully reply to an opposing argument or audience objection, but also builds a sort of trust and authority with you. Then, if you do in fact bring up the argument that I anticipate, I obviously appear to be correct not only in the subject matter of the argument but in the general course of the argument itself. Try again Your relativism may be harmed by the side effects and costs of the alleged opulence. That being said the first is the probability that Gates covets tests positive; the second is the probability that Gates who tests positive actually is too opulent to drive or fly. Thus, it is to be expected that roughly the same number of observations receive the benefits of early treatment as are distressed by false positives; these positive and negative effects can then be considered in deciding whether to carry out your pithy observation by representing the social choice process as a function, we are tacitly assuming that the social choice function is defined for any possible configuration of affluence.

This is a very innovative way to get rid of something that is fundamentally unpleasant, but what if poop is supposed to be smelly as a warning? And the lack of smell lower our alertness to maintain hygiene?
Bad smell can be an effective repellent from stuff that is bad for you. What, if this is removed by perfume. Dont't we get new problems then? There is a reason, why we are repelled by some smells (like cadavers). Please adress this issue in you (valuable) work.
Having traveled and worked extensively in developing countries, especially among the poorest of the poor, I am thrilled to learn of this wonderful change that is coming to daily hygiene routines for people who so deserve this and very much more. Bravo.
Maybe we should just improve the concept of the toilet? These wholes in the floor are just a bad design. The japanese are actually doing a lot around improving toilets with automated cleaning etc. I know it's expensive, but really, so is a powder that only fights bad smells without improving actual hygiene.
Gates is looking for cheap solutions that can be applied in very poor countries. Japan robotic solutions don't count. And no, soap powder is not as expansive as self cleaning toilets.

He says people don't use them because it smells, not because they're bad. I don't know enough about these toilets to assess how true that statement is, but you're right: we must improve hygiene in these poor communities. Lot's of disease caused by that. I thing the poop-into-water+electricity machine is a much more effective step in that direction.
Bernardo SOUSA well, if it smells that badly, and given the looks of it ... hygiene can't be very good. I'm curious about that machine, does it burn the fecals or what?
The idea, though, is that a lot of the bad hygiene results from not using centralized toilets but defecating in the open (presumably leading to contamination of other things?). So the first step is to get people to even use toilets that have been built for them, which I understand is a common problem in the third world.
isn't bad smell nature's way of warning against germs / toxins ? if we over ride the bad smell - someone could be smelling bad germs and fall sick without realizing what it caused, no ? anyone can please explain. thanks for the great work!!
Mr. Gates: is it possible to conduct the comparative review of the Olivetti and Siemens AG trains (sanitary hygiene, safety, technical characteristics; prices - if purchased from the Russian Federation)? Can / would Your Foundation be interested in conducting such a research? Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen
This is awesome. This get me really emotional. But I have a question. How are poor people, that don't even have money to pay for food, gonna pay for this? Or do they even have to pay?
this is a really bad idea, bad smells protect us from disease and harm, we don't want to get rid of our sense of smell, we want to get rid of the smell itself.
Mr. Gates: when / if conducting the comparative review of the Olivetti and Siemens AG trains a very important criterion MUST BE taken into discerning consideration. Namely: the location and the amount of the charging sockets - stations for the electronic devices. As far as I recollect, during my alpine skiing trip to Alto Adige several years ago, there was such a bountiful profusion of such sockets per every isle on Olivetti trains (probably, even, once socket per 1 - 1.5 seats)… At the Siemens AG trains this characteristic seems to be very meager in quantity and at the rather inconvenient places, with the wires hanging - dangling down from above the windows… (At least, at the Siemens AG trains in Russia it is that type of status quo; as, for example, Mercedes Benz public bus in Italy and in Russia - these are diametrically opposite results of the technical - scientific progress, which do not have anything in common. The version in Italy is convenient and nice, while its Russia’s brand equivalent / counterpart is a huge stressful insalubrious disgrace and shame for the Daimler Benz and the danger for the commuting public). And, also: the wagons produced at the Tver trains plant in the Russian Federation, are those manufacturing facilities under some kind of the contractual obligation to manufacture as if “licensed” trains from Siemens AG??? Because the inconveniences are profoundly the same: the same dirty WCs with the unbearable stench in them, the same electric sockets - very few and who knows where positioned. Just, please, imagine: you sleep at night and somebody gropes with hands in semi darkness above your head and / or legs (also almost bending above your body) to stick the charger into the socket… What kind of normal travel conditions and environment one can be talking in such types of environment? Very disturbing and unpleasant. Besides, a person with the cardio ailments can be getting the heart attacks from such an unexpected fright at night. Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen
And the latrines at that RZD train on May 7th, 2019 did also smell very very poorly… Stank so much because of all that toilet paper with the generous traces of… human peristaltic outcomes and shortcomings… Where the sanitary service does look at???
Also, I'd suggest Procter and Gamble to distribute their products as much as they can to general public/women since that seems to still be an issue. Study that. Instant progress made. Add microcredit loans and bam. Somewhere in India there was a demand in pads, for God's sake. Why would that be an issue to this day? Come on people!! Underdeveloped markets... Businesses should expand.
Blocking sensory to the bad smell isn't the right way to encourage toilet usage, rather could create more problems. Smell signals the body to react, this is a natural way of how the human body distinguish good and bad. If the brain was being lied, it would only create more problem. Fundamentally, is the toilet need to be wash and disinfected. Economically accessible disinfectant that are effective and have lasting effect may perhaps be the better direction.
They say "they don't know what could be causing the bad smell", really? I believe it could be more beneficial to improve the quality of the bathroom than trying to mask the odor.
The compassionate management of population and improving lifestyles in poor countries is the best and most just way to tackle the problem of waste. The War ,killer system has created such a miserable condition of inequality, ignorance and illetracy that the third world countries are like dumps and slums. The political upheavals, lack of law and order and amenities is horrific. The economic murder is horrendous. Justice and Equality is the right of all human beings. Equality does'nt mean that everyone should live in luxery, it means that people should'nt be forced to live like animals.
Isn't it just better to help the economies of these countries to build a proper infrastructure rather than blocking the smell? Those toilets are just really bad in the first place
This series of videos , Gates Notes is absolutely necessary to create conciousness about the situations we all are in together. Me, my friends and my family really appreciate the thought and efforts. I would love to help, in some way :)
for that 800,000 children making a good supply of water is necessary . So, to cure the children we should plan of direct supply of water clean and fresh .
wth this is no solution. Smell is necessary to know what you should avoid. This is like becoming blind just because the world around you becomes ugly more and more.
Re: no internet connection at the RZD? Negligence and corruption at the transport networks of the Russian Federation? Analyzing RZD and pondering over RZD. Dear Mr. Gates: on May 7th, 2019 my mother and I journeyed from Tula to Moscow. The train # 744, the wagon # 8, my seat was # 61. I tried numerous, very many time to get on line, following the instructions… and, alas, could not… Eventually, even the browsing slot, into which I was supposed to enter the “transline.ru”, or was it “rusline.ru” stopped appearing… Apparently, through some reason, the internet connectivity at the RZR (Russian railways) is somewhat substandard, or, even, nonexistent. Happy V Day! It would be very nice, and greatly serving the purpose of the Public Good and Good Will, if the progressive forces, reasonably thinking individuals in the Name of Harmony and Freedom of Expression and Movement could have united theirs efforts in tackling and fighting negligence, corruption, greed, avarice, disrespect for Human Rights and the sanitary hygiene norms at the transport networks of the Russian Federation, including RZD. Like the allies fought the darkness of Nazism and the third reich during the Great Patriotic War - World War The Second. Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen
No plumbing. "Toilet" is the PC way to say crap-silo; it can later can be used as a local, free source of energy and fertilizers. _take the good with the bad_ Their governments are working on a working plumbing system... roads... and energy grids, but it may take a while, and a couple hundred billions. As if the world had an oozing wound, and Gates is just applying pressure while the doctor gets here.
Re: the true smells of success! Analyzing RZD… Living side by side with it… Being born into RZD… Like my own self at the birth house of the railways, though, at those halcyon times of relatively not so distant yore it was identified differently, not like RZD. So… I discovered at RZD the true smells and fragrances of success! …Most of the times through my life the Kurskij railways station in Moscow was giving the impression of some doom and gloom. Escalators eternally not working, sullenly looking officialdom (though, not everybody, of course), …being stopped at random for check up by the “security” personnel, when trying asap to reach the metro turnstiles… And so on and so forth… Quite ungladdening, to say the least. But what a pleasant surprise: in the spacious abode of the major floor of the Kurskij railways station, the canteen with a good variety of vegan food, with the customer friendly prices got materialized itself! Puree broccoli, been soups, mushroom vegan soups… even, possibly, in accordance with the recipe of Peter The Great!!! And what the most wonderful cutlets: cabbage vegan cutlets and beet root cutlets, cuscus with pumpkin, stewed mushrooms in pearl barley! These are the true smells of success!!! I even start sleep dreaming mouth watering at night - the vibrations of those utterly delightful vegan cutlets are after me… They got so deep into my taste buds and the imagery psyche!!! Probably, because it is the time of The Lent, possibly, the menu is always quite versatile there… but this delectable vegan - vegetarian food does also create a better, friendlier image of RZD and of the city of Moscow as well! The fragrances of achievement, indeed, they are!!! P.S. I’ve decided, that it is quite appropriate to place the food related comment on this vlog, as the core subject line, the key word is the “SMELLS”. How the smells do affect and influence us.
…Am I missing something? Am I getting lost in my attempts to comprehend RZD??? For example, at the express train # 7050 Tula - Moscow on 15.04.19 at carriage # 8 the WC was very normal and clean. One can be without any predicament throwing toilet paper into the toilet bowl. And flashing and flashing (and it doesn’t getting wasted onto the rail tracks. It’s a closed circuit)/ So “having a couple words with Winston Churchill” is quite hygienic within the environs of train # 7050! …But it is not like that all at the train # 109… At the wagon # 5, which was my travelling abode for slightly more than 2 hours (2 hours 33 minutes, to be precise) the stench was unbelievable from the first minutes of the journey. As at that highly “advanced” WC the toilet paper cannot be flashed down the pipes… but… but… has to be stored… Not malodor, but the reeking miasma, the fetor abyss - those were the air whiffs at the “powder room” of wagon # 5 in the train # 109… How it could be happening??? Why the privy rooms - clean lavatories similar to the one I experienced in the train # 7050 are not being installed at all of the RZD new trains? WHY???!!! Somebody got the bribe?.. The word “le sabotage” springs up to mind… Probably, some foundation - independent body can investigate this issue?.. Also to make the comparative review of the Olivetti and Siemens AG manufactured trains… If the decision was made to purchase some trains abroad, then why were bought the trains with such poor sanitary hygiene characteristics (and, apparently, safety - as people waiting in line to Siemens AG latrines, 10-15 individuals, have no place to seat… if the emergency stoppage at the speed exceeding 150 km/h… what would happen to these passengers??? …Many of whom are about 80 years of age…)?.. Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen

This is funny cause one of the reasons why we have sense of bad smell is so we can eliminate the source. How do you eliminate what you can't smell?
Mr. Gates: when / if conducting the comparative review of the Olivetti and Siemens AG trains a very important criterion MUST BE taken into discerning consideration. Namely: the location and the amount of the charging sockets - stations for the electronic devices. As far as I recollect, during my alpine skiing trip to Alto Adige several years ago, there was such a bountiful profusion of such sockets per every isle on Olivetti trains (probably, even, once socket per 1 - 1.5 seats)… At the Siemens AG trains this characteristic seems to be very meager in quantity and at the rather inconvenient places, with the wires hanging - dangling down from above the windows… (At least, at the Siemens AG trains in Russia it is that type of status quo; as, for example, Mercedes Benz public bus in Italy and in Russia - these are diametrically opposite results of the technical - scientific progress, which do not have anything in common. The version in Italy is convenient and nice, while its Russia’s brand equivalent / counterpart is a huge stressful insalubrious disgrace and shame for the Daimler Benz and the danger for the commuting public). And, also: the wagons produced at the Tver trains plant in the Russian Federation, are those manufacturing facilities under some kind of the contractual obligation to manufacture as if “licensed” trains from Siemens AG??? Because the inconveniences are profoundly the same: the same dirty WCs with the unbearable stench in them, the same electric sockets - very few and who knows where positioned. Just, please, imagine: you sleep at night and somebody gropes with hands in semi darkness above your head and / or legs (also almost bending above your body) to stick the charger into the socket… What kind of normal travel conditions and environment one can be talking in such types of environment? Very disturbing and unpleasant. Besides, a person with the cardio ailments can be getting the heart attacks from such an unexpected fright at night. Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen
And the latrines at that RZD train on May 7th,
2019 did also smell very very poorly… Stank so much because of all that toilet
paper with the generous traces of… human peristaltic outcomes and shortcomings…
Where the sanitary service does look at???
Also, I'd suggest Procter and Gamble to distribute their products as much as they can to general public/women since that seems to still be an issue. Study that. Instant progress made. Add microcredit loans and bam. Somewhere in India there was a demand in pads, for God's sake. Why would that be an issue to this day? Come on people!! Underdeveloped markets... Businesses should expand.
Interesting how they approached this problem...
Blocking sensory to the bad smell isn't the right way to encourage toilet usage, rather could create more problems. Smell signals the body to react, this is a natural way of how the human body distinguish good and bad. If the brain was being lied, it would only create more problem. Fundamentally, is the toilet need to be wash and disinfected. Economically accessible disinfectant that are effective and have lasting effect may perhaps be the better direction.
Smart science, for small changes, that create drastically big results 🌝👍
They say "they don't know what could be causing the bad smell", really? I believe it could be more beneficial to improve the quality of the bathroom than trying to mask the odor.
A smartphone in a cave mans hand is just a rectangular rock.
This is perhaps the best clip I've watched till now.
the channel grew really quick in the last months 🙌
The water vapor can solve the problem of the bad smell
U r amazing
We all should look up to u
And just try to be a good human being and do good to others
Do bad smells not indicate that it's dangerous to health and therefore fulfil a function.
I like how you helping people you help us you help everybody you help us you make Windows computers Xbox phones and now helping people that is nice
Dear Mr Bill Gates, you inspire me because you make science interesting
Isn't bad odor necessary for people to know that the toilet should be cleaned?!
I wish to complete my studies as soon as possible and come to help you guys
And make this world a better place 🙂
Amazing job Bill. Very human being...
👌👍👍👍
Everyone should follow the example.
You can also have poop smell like gummie bears and have kids go crazy on it.
you made my day xD
I think the best idea is turning waste into electricity. If every household had their own waste to energy production unit it would be fantastic.
Nice idea, but I feel it's implementation requires very much stuff...... Rather than this we can go with some simpler ideas.
Those worst toilets are in my India.
oh wow really interesting application!

Try it again!
The compassionate management of population and improving lifestyles in poor countries is the best and most just way to tackle the problem of waste. The War ,killer system has created such a miserable condition of inequality, ignorance and illetracy that the third world countries are like dumps and slums. The political upheavals, lack of law and order and amenities is horrific. The economic murder is horrendous. Justice and Equality is the right of all human beings. Equality does'nt mean that everyone should live in luxery, it means that people should'nt be forced to live like animals.
Isn't it just better to help the economies of these countries to build a proper infrastructure rather than blocking the smell? Those toilets are just really bad in the first place
Thank you Bill, you're one of the humble man in the world, you're our inspiration
Said no one ever.
Great job Bill, proud of you
Bill do you really operate the channel ? plus I am living in Africa curently and can easily help the bill foundation get set up here
This series of videos , Gates Notes is absolutely necessary to create conciousness about the situations we all are in together.
Me, my friends and my family really appreciate the thought and efforts.
I would love to help, in some way :)
Plz can you explain in Hindi
No
thank you for your support. wish you happiness where ever you go and wellness.
for that 800,000 children making a good supply of water is necessary . So, to cure the children we should plan of direct supply
of water clean and fresh .
Here me out Bill knows our values, he not only kept his notes short but also simple to elaborate.
Very interesting! I'm a owner of a sole properitior , small house cleaning business . Thank you for this story Bill Gates ! :)
Love You All Sir Ji❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is a big problem in rural areas of india and the eastern up and bihar
wth this is no solution. Smell is necessary to know what you should avoid. This is like becoming blind just because the world around you becomes ugly more and more.
Re: no internet connection at the RZD? Negligence and corruption at the transport networks of the Russian Federation? Analyzing RZD and pondering over RZD.
Dear Mr. Gates: on May 7th, 2019 my mother and I journeyed from Tula to Moscow. The train # 744, the wagon # 8, my seat was # 61. I tried numerous, very many time to get on line, following the instructions… and, alas, could not… Eventually, even the browsing slot, into which I was supposed to enter the “transline.ru”, or was it “rusline.ru” stopped appearing… Apparently, through some reason, the internet connectivity at the RZR (Russian railways) is somewhat substandard, or, even, nonexistent.
Happy V Day! It would be very nice, and greatly serving the purpose of the Public Good and Good Will, if the progressive forces, reasonably thinking individuals in the Name of Harmony and Freedom of Expression and Movement could have united theirs efforts in tackling and fighting negligence, corruption, greed, avarice, disrespect for Human Rights and the sanitary hygiene norms at the transport networks of the Russian Federation, including RZD. Like the allies fought the darkness of Nazism and the third reich during the Great Patriotic War - World War The Second. Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen
nice channel dude
So why do the toilets smell bad?
I guess that fecals develop some bacteria that are smelling like this ...
In most cases in developing countries, the plumbing probably doesn't work
No plumbing.
"Toilet" is the PC way to say crap-silo; it can later can be used as a local, free source of energy and fertilizers.
_take the good with the bad_
Their governments are working on a working plumbing system... roads... and energy grids, but it may take a while, and a couple hundred billions.
As if the world had an oozing wound, and Gates is just applying pressure while the doctor gets here.
Poor people😢
Love You Sir Ji❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘
Re: the true
smells of success!
Analyzing RZD…
Living side by side with it… Being born into RZD… Like my own self at the birth
house of the railways, though, at those halcyon times of relatively not so
distant yore it was identified differently, not like RZD. So… I discovered at
RZD the true smells and fragrances of success! …Most of the times through my
life the Kurskij railways station in Moscow was giving the impression of some
doom and gloom. Escalators eternally not working, sullenly looking officialdom
(though, not everybody, of course), …being stopped at random for check up by
the “security” personnel, when trying asap to reach the metro turnstiles… And
so on and so forth… Quite ungladdening, to say the least. But what a pleasant
surprise: in the spacious abode of the major floor of the Kurskij railways
station, the canteen with a good variety of vegan food, with the customer
friendly prices got materialized itself! Puree broccoli, been soups, mushroom
vegan soups… even, possibly, in accordance with the recipe of Peter The Great!!!
And what the most wonderful cutlets: cabbage vegan cutlets and beet root cutlets,
cuscus with pumpkin, stewed mushrooms in pearl barley! These are the true smells
of success!!! I even start sleep dreaming mouth watering at night - the vibrations
of those utterly delightful vegan cutlets are after me… They got so deep into
my taste buds and the imagery psyche!!! Probably, because it is the time of The
Lent, possibly, the menu is always quite versatile there… but this delectable
vegan - vegetarian food does also create a better, friendlier image of RZD and
of the city of Moscow as well! The fragrances of achievement, indeed, they
are!!!
P.S. I’ve
decided, that it is quite appropriate to place the food related comment on this
vlog, as the core subject line, the key word is the “SMELLS”. How the smells do
affect and influence us.
Everything is relative
No se si habéis dado cuenta
why don't just keep it clean?
blocking the odor doesn't make them less dirty and disgusting...
…Am I missing something? Am I getting lost in my attempts to comprehend RZD??? For example, at the express train # 7050 Tula - Moscow on 15.04.19 at carriage # 8 the WC was very normal and clean. One can be without any predicament throwing toilet paper into the toilet bowl. And flashing and flashing (and it doesn’t getting wasted onto the rail tracks. It’s a closed circuit)/ So “having a couple words with Winston Churchill” is quite hygienic within the environs of train # 7050! …But it is not like that all at the train # 109… At the wagon # 5, which was my travelling abode for slightly more than 2 hours (2 hours 33 minutes, to be precise) the stench was unbelievable from the first minutes of the journey. As at that highly “advanced” WC the toilet paper cannot be flashed down the pipes… but… but… has to be stored… Not malodor, but the reeking miasma, the fetor abyss - those were the air whiffs at the “powder room” of wagon # 5 in the train # 109… How it could be happening??? Why the privy rooms - clean lavatories similar to the one I experienced in the train # 7050 are not being installed at all of the RZD new trains? WHY???!!! Somebody got the bribe?.. The word “le sabotage” springs up to mind… Probably, some foundation - independent body can investigate this issue?.. Also to make the comparative review of the Olivetti and Siemens AG manufactured trains… If the decision was made to purchase some trains abroad, then why were bought the trains with such poor sanitary hygiene characteristics (and, apparently, safety - as people waiting in line to Siemens AG latrines, 10-15 individuals, have no place to seat… if the emergency stoppage at the speed exceeding 150 km/h… what would happen to these passengers??? …Many of whom are about 80 years of age…)?.. Sincerely Yours, Petr Frizen
Youre telling me that the smell is the only reason why they defecate outdoors? .... ERROR
It's more comfortable to pee outside due to the light reflection/ transmission at many businesses who use Computers
I love your content
OMG just clean it. Why do they have to make it complicated and wastes a lot of money instead of going directly to the point.
Thankyou💝👍
Gotta say this video was not what I expected. It's even better nonetheless.
Why not just keeping the toilets clean? I know it's hard in those places, but still...
I'm sure your mother is smiling down upon you, Mr. Gates. God bless you and everyone involved in making this world a better place. On behalf of humanity, thank you.
I'll be like you
It is OK, President Fondations! LOL
