San Francisco has taken a major
step towards improving public
hygiene with a new paint which
aims to reduce public urination.
So-called “Ultra-Ever Dry” paint
is being tested on walls in public
areas which are commonly used
by drinkers relieving themselves
in the street.
The “superhydrophobic coating”
has been created to repel liquids.
“The urine will bounce back on
the guy’s pants and shoes...the
idea is they will think twice next
time about urinating in public,”
said a spokesperson for the SFO
Public Works Department.
Nine walls have been painted

with signs in English, Spanish and
Chinese which warn potential
urinators to “Hold it! Seek relief in
an appropriate place”.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 27 Jul 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 27 Jul 15
