The aim of this study was to investigate the physical, chemical and microbiological contamination of indoor swimming pools.
Pool water specimens were collected using a plastic polypropylene sterilized bottle. The physical and chemical qualities of the waters were analyzed in terms of temperature, turbidity, pH, and free residual chlorine, with the standard methods for the examination of water. Bacteriological (routine methods) and parasitological (molecular methods) tests were carried out on pools water.
The mean temperature, pH, and residual chlorine of the indoor pools were 31.2 °C, 7.6 and 1.5 mg/L, respectively. Turbidity was not observed in any of the pools. The pH and temperature values were in standard ranges in 92.3% and 15.4% of the waters of swimming pools, respectively. The prevalence rates of bacterial and amoebic contaminations of the water in the swimming pools were 53.8% and 46.2%, respectively. One pool (7.7%) was contaminated with both bacteria and amoeba. and spp. were isolated from the pool waters.
In this study, some microorganisms were identified from the water pools. Effective management of swimming pools and proper control of the physical, chemical and microbiological property of water pools can produce the healthy recreational activity.
本研究旨在调查室内游泳池的物理、化学和微生物污染情况。
使用经过消毒的塑料聚丙烯瓶采集泳池水样。采用水检测的标准方法,对水样的温度、浊度、pH值和游离余氯进行物理和化学性质分析。对泳池水进行细菌学(常规方法)和寄生虫学(分子方法)检测。
室内游泳池的平均温度、pH值和余氯分别为31.2℃、7.6和1.5mg/L。所有泳池均未观察到浊度。pH值和温度值分别在92.3%和15.4%的游泳池水样中处于标准范围内。游泳池水中细菌和阿米巴污染的患病率分别为53.8%和46.2%。一个泳池(7.7%)同时受到细菌和阿米巴的污染。从泳池水中分离出了 和 属。
在本研究中,从泳池水中鉴定出了一些微生物。对游泳池进行有效管理并适当控制泳池水的物理、化学和微生物特性,可以产生健康的娱乐活动。
