Abstract: In one embodiment, an integrated toilet and air deodorizer comprises a bowl comprising a flush ring and an air passageway located above the flush ring. The air passageway is an upward extension of the bowl and extends about a periphery of the bowl. The air passageway comprises a continuous orifice facing inwardly into the bowl, and the air passageway extends to a neck section at a rear portion of the bowl. The integrated toilet and air deodorizer further comprises an exhaust pipe coupled to the air passageway at the neck section, the exhaust pipe comprising an aperture, wherein the exhaust pipe is operable to be coupled to a conduit suitable for transporting its gaseous contents away from the bowl.
