The ventilation device includes a base which is mounted on the rim portion of the toilet bowl. A vacuum member having a hollow interior and containing a plurality of apertures is superimposed on the inner periphery of the base. A handle having a hollow interior is integrally formed with the vacuum member, and a connecting pipe is coupled to the free end of the handle. Suction devices are provided and operatively coupled to the connecting pipe in order draw odors from the toilet bowl and direct them to a remote location. The ventilation device may be used with multiple toilet assemblies via a common exhaust line. The device can also be adapted for use with various sizes of toilet assemblies.
