短句问答22：环境卫生 Many popular public swimming beaches in Wisconsin have been closed over the past two summers. due to increased monitoring for bacteria. The recent closures were triggered in the summer of 2002, when a suspicious outbreak of intestinal problems affected a large number of swimmers who were camped at Peninsula State Park, in Door County. Samples were taken.and high coliform bacteria counts were noted. Health departments were urged into taking samples at more Wisconsin beaches and found problems at dozens of sites. This set off a wave of publicity. At the same time, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced the launch of a new monitoring program for the 170 public beaches which line Wisconsins coasts on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, funded by a federal grant. Howerver, as DNR pointed out, the monitoring plan had been under development since 2001 to meet federal requirements for states to improve monitoring and public notification at their coastal beaches. Unfortunately, the federal law and the available federal funding dont get at identifying and reducing sources or contamination. said Toni Glymph, the DNR toxicologist leading the Beach Workgroup of state and local health and environmental officials. We realize those are criticai needs, but this testing and notification plan is a start. People need to be aware of risks and make informed choices. |
