E-coli found in Dubai sea waters
- United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, October 07 - 2008 at 10:13
Dubai is suffering from high levels of bacteria in areas of its coastline close to the Offshore Sailing Club after months of illegal sewage dumping into the sea. Tests on the water found that it contained three times the legal levels of faecal coliforms - up to 70 per 100ml. The maximum allowed is 20 per 100ml. E-coli was also found. The bacteria can cause ear infections, typhoid fever and hepatitis A while e-coli causes gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections.
