A recent study has revealed that harmful bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been discovered on various surfaces at petrol stations across the UK, including fuel pump handles, card machines, and door handles.
In particular, high levels of Pseudomonas aeruginosa—a bacterium that can cause skin infections and respiratory illnesses—were detected in Nottingham. Alarmingly, experts warn that some petrol station surfaces may harbour more bacteria than an average toilet seat.
Motorists are being advised to use gloves or hand sanitiser when refuelling, especially those who are immunocompromised.
Interestingly, petrol stations in London were found to have lower bacterial levels, which may be linked to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles in the capital.
With millions expected to travel over the upcoming Easter holidays, drivers are urged to take extra precautions regarding personal hygiene when visiting fuel stations.
