Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | 6 p. Safe bathing water is an essential factor in public health. Poor-quality recreational water has been shown to be the cause of outbreaks of waterborne diseases involving many tourists as well as local people. The quality of bathing waters may be affected by inadequate sewage treatment and agricultural pollution, resulting in microbial and chemical contamination and eutrophication. There is considerable epidemiological evidence in the literature to suggest that contact with recreational waters is associated with illness, primarily gastrointestinal symptoms, although outbreak data also suggest that there is a risk of more serious illnesses. EU Member States have been successful in implementing the Bathing Water Quality Directive 76/160/EEC and maintaining high-quality bathing waters. The new Bathing Water Directive 2006/7/EC has set higher standards for the management of bathing waters. |
