- the mounting bolt having the hollow cavity having an intake port and an exit port, the intake and exit ports of the mounting bolt having the hollow cavity in fluid communications with the hollow cavity of the mounting bolt having the hollow cavity,
- the intake port of the mounting bolt having the hollow cavity in fluid communications with the intake hole of the mounting shaft having the intake hole;
- a toilet bowl having a mouth and a back, the toilet bowl including:
- a waste water drainage network which is capable of establishing fluid communications with the sewer line;
- a pair of bolt holes, each respective bolt hole having a corresponding threaded nut imbedded within the toilet bowl near
- the distal end of each respective bolt hole, each threaded nut of each respective bolt hole is screw fitted to the threaded distal end of each corresponding mounting bolt of the hinge,
- at least one bolt hole having an open input portal at the distal end of the bolt hole having the open input portal, the open input portal of the bolt hole having the open input portal in fluid communications with the exit port of the mounting bolt having the hollow cavity;
- a hollow chamber fluidly connected to the open input portal of the at least bolt hole having the open input portal, the hollow chamber having:
- an air intake tube having an input end and an output end, the input end of the air intake tube is attached to the open input portal of the bolt hole having the open input portal, the air intake tube in fluid communications with the open input portal of the bolt hole having the open input portal;
- an outlet portal of the hollow chamber which is in fluid communications with the bottom portion of said waste water drainage network;
- an air pump attached to the toilet bowl, the air pump having an inlet port and an outlet port, the inlet port of the air pump attached to the output end of the air intake tube, the air pump in fluid communications with the air intake tube;
- a transformer attached to the air pump, the transformer electrically connected to the air pump;
- an electrical cable attached the proximate end of the electrical cable to the transformer, the electrical cable is electrically connected to the transformer, the distal end of the electrical cable is electrically connectable to a power source;
- and
- an air discharge tube having a first end and a second end, the first end of the air discharge tube attached to the outlet port of the air pump, the air discharge tube in fluid communications with the air pump, the second end of the air discharge tube is attached to the outlet portal of the hollow chamber, the air discharge tube in fluid communications with the bottom portion of said waste water drainage network,
- thereby the a plurality of input vent holes in the seat are in fluid communications with the bottom portion of said waste water drainage network;
- and
- an annular gasket;
- placing the annular gasket around the sewer line, said placing step performed subsequent to said obtaining step;
- mounting the device onto the sewer line, said mounting step performed subsequent to said placing step;
- connecting the distal end of the electrical cable an electrical power outlet, wherein said electrical cable is operatively connected to said electrical power outlet, said connecting step performed subsequent to said obtaining step;
- plumbing a water line to the waste water drainage network of the toilet bowl so that the mouth of the toilet bowl contains water, said plumbing step performed subsequent to said mounting step;
- defecating into the mouth of said toilet bowl to create the odorous vapor near the immediate vicinity of the device, said defecating step performed subsequent to said mounting, connecting, and plumbing steps;
- activating the pump of the device to remove a portion of the odorous vapor from the immediate vicinity of the device, said activating step performed subsequent to said defecating step;
- and
- flushing the water in the bowl of the toilet bowl, said flushing step performed subsequent to said defecating step.
