[Sanitary and microbiological characteristics of surface waters of Vladivostok beaches]
Abstract:
The present-day sanitary state of most sea beaches within the precincts of Vladivostok is mainly determined by the fact that pollutants along with household and industrial sewerage flows are carried away into the beaches without proper treatment. A multitude of the pathogenic and opportunistic flora with fecal sewerage flows enters the coastal zone. In summer holiday months (July and August), beach-front areas of the city are polluted with organic substances, i.e. they are characterized as polysaprobic, which creates conditions for the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms. In terms of sanitary and microbiological indices, the surface waters in the city's recreational zones are characterized by persistent fecal pollution that greatly exceeds the sanitary standards, abundant enterobacteria, including epidemiologically potentially dangerous species.
