Fecal bacteria in the sea, but tourists bathed near Kranevo  - 1

It seems that nothing can scare the tourists who decided to go to the beach in Kranevo. The health inspectorate warned that excessive amounts of faecal bacteria were found in the water, which could cause infections. And yet vacationers continue to bathe. The cause of the pollution of the sea water is the accident at the "Albena" treatment plant. on June 4.

Despite the recommendations of the RZI, there were still tourists bathing in the water on the central beach in Kranevo today. We remind you that the health inspectorate in Dobrich announced that after the accident at the Albena water treatment plant, excessive amounts of Escherichia coli were found in the seawater on June 21. and “intestinal enterococci“.

Sampling takes place every other day, with the second results expected tomorrow.

"Our task is to inform beachgoers that at this stage we do not recommend using the water for bathing in these areas because there is such a potential risk. The laboratory results show anthropogenic pollution," said Dr. Svetla Angelova, director of RZI Dobrich, to BNT.
