Contaminated beach water could make swimmers sick, warns new pollution report: ‘Several troubling trends’
Fox News
Some 400 million people visit U.S. beaches each year — and many of them could be exposed to hazardous bacteria, says a new report on beach pollution from Environment America.
Yet a new report suggests that the country’s coastlines may hold hidden health hazards. "Of 3,192 tested beaches, 55% contained unsafe levels of fecal contamination on at least one day." "Contaminated water can cause serious illness, infection and diarrhea." "Most Americans still believe clean water is worth it." "Fifty years ago, we came together as a nation and declared that all our waterways would be safe for swimming." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
Roughly half of U.S. beaches were found to contain potentially unsafe levels of fecal contamination in 2022, according to the annual Safe for Swimming report from Environment America, a Boston-based research, education and advocacy group.
