England’s swimming waters five times more likely to be polluted than in EU, research finds | Water

New research is more likely to contaminate British swimming water five times more than the EU.

Experts, the country’s bacterial pollutant substances that do not contain the bottom of the bath water again “Europe’s dirty man” is the danger of being in danger, he said.

The Best campaign group for the UK analyzed the quality of bath waters under the British and EU standards, and in all four countries of the UK, holidaymakers were less likely to enjoy the “perfect” quality waters than the EU.

Research found that 64.2% of the UK’s bath waters were considered perfect by the Environmental Agency (EA) in 2024, and 85.4% of the EUs were perfect in the same year compared to the European Environmental Agency (AEA).

The UK also had more bath water than any country in the EU, with 8.4%. Scotland was 3.4%, Wales were 1.8%and the EU was only 1.5%. Northern Ireland did not have poor bath water. Through comparisonEstonia had the highest share of the officially rated “poor” bath waters (4.6%). Albania, one of the countries measured under the standards of ACA, which includes some non -EU countries, is in the worst rating of 22.9% of the bath waters as poor.

A “bad örnek means that water quality falls below the acceptable level for safe bath, ie a huge bacteria, such as intestinal enterococci and E coli. These bacteria can cause serious illness, so people are directed to avoid swimming in poor areas.

Currently, bathroom waters in the UK and the EU are measured under the same standards. Under England Bathroom Water Regulations 2013and under the EU Bathroom Water Directive. Both regulations apply standards of how much of various bacteria, such as E coli, can be in 100 ml of water to meet the criteria.

The government is changing the UK’s water editing system, including scrapping the WAT regulator and making a new “super editor”. As a result of the updated editing program, there may be new water quality measurement frames.

The same standards are currently valid for the UK and EU countries, but many EU countries seem to apply and implement the standards more effectively. The Environmental Protection Office, which was established to replace the EU surveillance after Brexit, found that the UK was on the way to miss the water cleaning goals that should meet if it had been in the EU.

In the EU, countries will update water regulations and filter pollutants of chemicals, drugs and pesticides within the scope of the urban waste water treatment directive. Sir Jon Jon Cunliffe, who wrote the government’s last independent examination to the water sector, told Guardian to do the same thing. There is no government plan to do this.

Campaigns, Britain should pay attention to the EU regulation and keep up with, he said. Naomi Smith, General Manager of Best for Britain, who is campaigns for campaigns for the closer vineyards between the UK and the EU, said, “People are rightly horrified by the disgusting situation of the rivers, lakes and beaches of England. Clean water should not be guaranteed to everyone and no one should take risks with a sunny day.

“Once again, when it comes to environmental regulation, implementation and protection of people’s health, the European Union leads to accusation of accusation. This should keep up as raising the bar in millions of benefits, as the ministers implement and implement the existing standards properly and the EU’s survey expected.”

Amy Fairman, the head of the River Action Campaigns, said: “This analysis confirms what the washed and river lovers already know: British waters in crisis. Profit water companies, industrial -scale agriculture and dental regulation failed people and nature.

“The Independent Water Commission has been entitled to replace ofwat, but only real power, application and accountability correct a broken system. Britain is very ugly for England to sit among the worst performance countries for water quality in Europe – and unless we take action, we will return to our embarrassing position as ‘Europe’s dirty man’.”
