A portable lavatory to put in vehicles has been developed by a British firm. It is intended for use by people with medical conditions, as well as families with small children. Link to story is here.
The Indipod, made by Bromsgrove-based Daycar, is aimed at people with bowel and bladder problems.
The chemical toilet is housed in an inflatable "bubble" which is powered from the car's cigarette lighter.
It is designed to be used in multi-purpose vehicles, four-wheel drives and estate cars.
The company says that the chemicals break down waste into a "sweet smelling, inoffensive liquid", which can be disposed of at the end of a journey.
It says that there is no residual smell in the vehicle once the Indipod has been used, and that one sachet of chemicals is enough for one person's use for about eight days.
The bubble or "private sanitary sanctuary" inflates to an area about 1.2m high by a metre wide and is sufficient to accommodate two people...a parent and child or a disabled person with a helper.
