[Problems of sanitary-and-epidemic safety of swimming pools in Moscow]

Due to the fact that swimming pools are widely used as sports and fitness objects and that their construction is growing in the public and individual sectors, there is an increasing need for more effective sanitary and microbiological monitoring of the epidemic safety of bathers against not only enteral infections, but also infectious diseases of the skin, mucosae, and nail plates, including onychomycosis. The data available in the literature and the authors' findings indicate that swimming pool attendance might be a reason for the spread of mycosis pathogens and necessitates the development of standards for these indicators and a search for novel promising disinfectants.
