Slovaks, ATTENTION on cyanobacteria: swim in the waters you prefer to think twice

The quality of bathing water can be revealed to the naked eye, if the water feels or is repulsive, people should not bathe there. From a health point of view, it is not safe to swim in natural aquatic areas where waterfowl are caught because they can also transmit certain pathogens, such as salmonella. Bathing in the water near which dead animals or sewage effluents occurred

In the case of public pools, it is important to note the damage or the viscous deposits on the walls and floors. Tiles – If the pools are in such a state, hygienists do not want to bathe in them. "The bath is for healthy people who have normal immunity and undisturbed skin which, if damaged, can be a route of entry of infection" presented the Chief hygienist SR Ján Mikas with the fact that it is not possible to rule out contact with various species of microorganisms that are spreading in the water, but the problem arises if they are overpopulated disproportionately

Can be found in natural pools. "These are microorganisms that are a natural component of the environment and in some quantities are also part of the phytoplankton of all reservoirs and lakes.Sinice can cause respiratory problems in children, fringes of skin or ocular conjunctivitis.After swallowing more, they can also cause intestinal problems, seizures and nausea.Although not all cyanobacteria produce toxic and allergic substances, the risk increases with the length of stay in the eye. Water and baths repeated for several days. " warns hygienists. Reproduced and accumulated toxic cyanobacteria form flakes or colony noises, which are scattered in a water column or accumulated on the surface of the water.

Most often, they live in green or blue-green and can be trapped on the banks. Increased presence of cyanobacteria, especially after prolonged sun and warm weather. Mikas pointed out that the proliferation of sinuses represents a greater health risk than the reproduction of algae. "That the water contains cyanobacteria, it can be tested in a simple way: the water in the translucent container should be taken and left in the light for 15 to 20 minutes." If a colored ring resembling when a cut pin or a green semolina is formed on the water and the water remains clear, it is probably a cyanobacteria. If the microorganisms remain dispersed in the column of Water, these are non-essential algae, " is reported in a press release

As for bathing tours, visitors should also check the color of water and odors. They should also take a shower before entering the pool. A full shower can reduce the risk of water contamination up to ten times. People with communicable diseases should not enter the pool. "Visitors who often do not comply with the regulations of the operator often have poor water quality, hygiene rules, or visit swimming pools with communicable diseases", [19659004] informs Mikas. He adds that the water in the pools is usually warmer, so better is given to bacteria, viruses and parasites. The water in public pools is most often spread by intestinal infections, especially viral diseases. such as eyelash inflammation, hepatitis A. 19659005] It may also be infected with parasitic worms (human rubella), the thermal water pools may contain protozoa – amoebae, some of which are dangerous to humans and cause inflammation of the brain and cerebral mucus. Artificial pools are also exposed to microscopic fungi, mold and yeast, and on the other hand, excessive use of chlorine, one of the most used disinfectants, may be sensitive to children, especially to predispositions to allergies. hygienists meet the border
