WATER POLLUTION STILL A CONCERN FOR RIO 2016′S OPEN WATER SWIMMING SITE

 

Rio de Janeiro has a problem with water population was centuries but now it can forbid swimming contest planned for 2016. Water is too populated and World Swimming comity doesn’t want to put in danger swimmers.

Coliform bacteria is the most dangerous one in Brazil waters, measurements showed that three weeks ago it was 16 times higher than Brazil adequate level and 195 times higher than US water regulation. Coliform bacteria can be present in food and water, bacteria is fermenting lactose but it is cannot seriously harm a health condition.   

If Brazil don’t solve his problem with water there will be noting from the 2016 water Olympics. Big organizations like FINA, FISA, and ISAF will not send sportiest to Rio because of safety reasons.  

I choose this text because it is connected to our previous unit- water and also it is very interesting that I found out how Brazil is being “blackmailed” with water, it was the same thing with China on 2008 Olympic Games, but there was with air pollution and not with water pollution.
