There are two main reasons...

1. If the toilets are mounted back-to-back on opposite sides of a wall, some of the movement can be attributed to mechanical transmission of vibration from one to the other due to a structural connection.

2. Suction in the drain. Toilet drains have vents that allow air to move in and gas to move out. If the vents are improperly installed or get clogged they can create a suction in the drain pipe that jiggles the water in other toilet bowls.

3. The theory that this movement is caused by Toilet Gnomes becoming jealous of the attention that other Toilet Gnomes are getting and then scrambling around in a panic is false.

What is the composition of portable toilet chemical?

A portable toilet is a toilet using chemicals to deodorize the waste instead of simply storing it in a hole, or piping it away to a sewage treatment plant. These toilets are most commonly found on airplanes, trains, caravans and motorhomes, identified with a blue-colored dye in the bowl water. (In the United States and Australia this blue liquid formula is generally called "Anotec".) An even simpler chemical toilet consists of a seat on a container or bucket of water, with a solution of chemicals used to disinfect or/and deodorize. Disinfection was generally carried out by mixing formaldehyde or similar chemicals with the toilet water when flushed. Modern formulations are nitrate based and work biologically. Since formaldehyde is very irritating to the skin, nose, and throat, it is being replaced by other proprietary blends such as glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium compounds, with non-staining dyes and nature-identical perfume oils. Also the use of enzyme hybrids is being used.
