Indirect Information

The Israel Ministry of Health is now revising its regulations for the assurance of safe water quality in public swimming pools. Since it is not possible to monitor each of the pathogenic microorganisms, it is often recommended to monitor indicator bacteria which provide indirect information on the water quality in the swimming pool. Three indicator microorganisms are often recommended: coliform counts (total coliforms, fecal coliforms or E. Coli), staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa. A four year survey of the water quality of swimming pools in the Jerusalem District was conducted in order to determine whether the monitoring of all three indicators is necessary to assure safe water quality or is it sufficient to monitor only a single microorganism. A statistical analysis, conducted by using several different statistical techniques, reveals that the populations of the three indicator organisms are significantly interdependent but the correlations between each pair of these indicators are not sufficient to base a prediction of any of the organisms based on the measurements of the others. Therefore, it is concluded that monitoring of all three indicators should be recommended in order to provide an adequate picture of the water quality in swimming pools.

The present study was undertaken in order to determine the quality of indoor pool waters in hotels along the Croatian coast. We wanted to assess the risks of exposure to microbial and chemical contaminants and find out if training pool operators to use a quality assurance system, that we developed, influenced hygienic conditions and water quality in swimming pools or not. The samples were analysed for free chlorine, pH and several microbiological indicators according to standard laboratory methodologies. Of 1,329 samples tested, 276 were found to be unacceptable either by chemical (148) or microbiological parameters (128). After training, the proportion of unacceptable samples dropped by 23.5%, mostly according to the free chlorine values. According to our results, most of the microbiologically unacceptable samples had chlorine levels within the recommended range but their pH values were too high. A free chlorine level below 0.2 mg/L was found in 106 (82.8%) microbiologically unacceptable samples suggesting the need for maintaining the lower limit at least above 0.2 mg/L in order to reduce microbial risks to a more acceptable level. This measure combined with training of pool operators might result in reduced health risks in pool waters.

It is recognized, that a man in wider and immediate community, especially by living in larger, urban areas is exposed to a variety of factors that directly or indirectly affect his health, living conditions, and ability to work, as well as the life expectancy. Life in changed working and living surroundings, with decreased physical and neural condition , and inadequate active and passive relaxation results in increase of number of depression, trauma traffic, respiratory disease, deformity- especially in children, degenerative diseases, etc.To prevent thisone has to sit less and become more active, since physical activity in variety of forms, increases the functional capability of all organ systems, and is essential, as a mean of maintaining overall psychological and physical health as well as the ability to work. Swimming is a healthy physical activity that is valued for its benefits. It has a powerful effect on all body systems, and nowadays a significant number of people use swimming pools more or less frequently. However, recreational activities at the swimming pool can endanger health, so it is necessary to the properly manage the pools, as to reduce threats to the smallest possible measure.The research confirmed the hypothesis that the water quality in swimming pools and recreation in many respects depends on the correct design and construction of swimming pools, rationally established hydraulics, acceptable water quality, capacity and efficiency of the water treatment, the workload of the pool, the implementation of appropriate sanitary and hygienic measures and control of the critical points in and around the pool, behavior of users as possible contributors to water pollution, provide a satisfactory quality of water, which endangers the safety of users.
