Microbiological quality of coastal waters and its health effects

摘要: A brief outline is given of marine microbiology, relating to both natural microorganisms and those resulting from pollution. Microbial indicators pollution their methods detection are discussed recent epidemiological surveys health effects associated with seawater recreational activities reviewed. Reference made microbiological standards for bathing waters. It evident that more work required elucidate the complex ecological interactions microorganisms; current microbial in need refinement; although exposure coastal waters has some association acquisition minor illness, attempts relate this quality water confounding.
