Yesterday (September 5, 2008) the Instituto Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AYA) reported that there are 13 beaches in this country who have problems with coliform contamination. It was noted that the level of contamination was found in 240 fecal coliforms per 100 milliliters of water. Among those allegedly responsible can be found some tourism projects, hotels and restaurants, which did not take into account the environmental factor, and as this could adversely affect his business.
According to the Laboratorio Nacional de Aguas risks involved to swim in these waters may involve skin infections, respiratory infections and diarrhea.
