Excerpt
Excerpt: Reports of illness after exposure to marine water appear to be increasing, and there is evidence that the rate of infection is proportional to both the amount of time swimmers are exposed and the levels of pollution in the waters where they swim. In this issue, researchers from Harvard University led by Sarah E. Henrickson conclude that human activities are contributing to illnesses associated with marine recreation [EHP 109:645?650]. The team also suggests ways to reduce the incidence of illness by both monitoring pathogens to prevent human exposure and correcting environmental conditions that boost pathogen concentrations in marine waters.
