  1. Microbiological pollution is the most obvious risk to human health. Even after decades of pollution management, elevated bacteria levels still affect at least 15% of European bathing waters that cannot reach ‘excellent’ quality classification according to the BWD, although they may be of acceptable (i.e. ‘sufficient’) quality for bathing. This pollution comes primarily from waste-water and sewage outflows, agricultural manure, or technical malfunctions in water infrastructure.
