Friedberger See: ESTAMITY OF THE Blaubergen test for bathers

Friedberger See: ESTAMITY OF THE Blaubergen test for bathers

The waters of the Wittelsbach Land, in particular the Friedberger See, enjoy the all-clear after worrying warnings regarding blue algae last week. The district office of Aichach-Friedberg carried out fresh tests on the bathing lakes on Monday, August 19 and achieved gratifying results that are relieved for the bathers.

The analysis of the water samples consistently provided negative results regarding the cyanobacteria of the genus Tychonema at several important bathing points. This is particularly noteworthy for the Friedberger See, the Derchinger Baggersee and the Oberach swimming lake, in which no dangerous blue -green algae have been detected. These feedback is of great importance for the continued use of the waters.

health risk in Lake Afrasee 2

Despite the positive tests, there are still concerns in Afrase 2 in Friedberg, where occasionally evidence of Tychonema was recorded. The health risks associated with this special blue -all -genre cause swimming with small children and pets in this waters to continue to classify as risky. The responsible authorities urge to be careful and take possible dangers seriously.

However, the test results are only a snapshot. The district office emphasizes that it is essential to consider the warning signs on the bathing lakes, as the conditions can change quickly. The information on the laboratory results, as well as additional information on blue algae are published on the website of the district office in order to always inform the public about the condition of the waters.

visit for all swimming fans

The good news about the purity of the bathing lakes in the region also ensures a return of the bathing friends to the popular destinations. The swimming lakes offer a variety of recreational options, including swimming, sunbathing and just relaxing on the shore. Regional evenings with great Sunset views are now inviting and safe for the entire family.

Friedberger See: In this bathing water sample, no cyanobacteria of the genus Tychonema were demonstrated.
• Dermachinger Baggersee: No proof.
• Bathesee Oberach: also no proof.
• radersdorfer Baggersee: No proof (additional test).
• Afrasee 2 in Friedberg: Still evidence of Tychonema. Due to the possible health -impairing properties of this type of blue allocation, bathing with small children and dogs in Afrasee 2 continues to be advised.

Overall, the current status of water quality shows that the bathroom areas are safe again despite the previous warnings, but it is important to remain vigilant. The extensive lack of harmful blue algae in the bathing lakes is a step in the right direction.

safe bathing season in sight

The calming about the blue algae in the Wittelsbacher Land not only shows the effectiveness of the tests and health management, but also creates the possibility for a more carefree swimming season. Summer still has many beautiful days ready, and people can afford to visit the lakes and enjoy nature as long as they keep the clues in the back of their head. So stay informed and enjoy the time on the water!

Blue algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are microscopic organisms that often occur in water. While some types of cyanobacteria are harmless to the ecosystem, certain types such as Tychonema can produce dangerous toxins that represent health risks for both people and animals. These toxins can be picked up when swimming or by contacting water and lead to symptoms such as rashes, breathing difficulties and even serious illnesses.

The warning of the Aichach-Friedberg district office refers to the potential dangers through these toxins and the need to act preventively, especially in areas where the presence of specific cyanobacteria has been demonstrated. A regular review of bathing water is therefore essential to inform the public about current health risks. The health department carries out samples at regular intervals to ensure that the bathing lakes are safe to swim. The results of these tests are published transparently on the website of the district office.

The health effects of blue algae

The negative health effects of blue algae are a serious problem, especially in warmer months. Studies show that the temperature has a direct impact on the growth of cyanobacteria. Higher water temperatures can lead to a faster proliferation of these organisms. According to an investigation by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), blue -grade flowers can occur at temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius, which is the case in many German lakes.

In particular, toxins such as microcytins, which are produced by some types of blue -allergies, have proven to be dangerous. These toxins can cause long -term damage to the liver and kidneys and are also suspected of being carcinogenic. Recently reports of neurological symptoms in connection with contact with contaminated water have also been raised, which makes further research necessary to understand the exact effects on human health.

regulations and recommendations

In Germany, the quality of the bathing water is subject to strict regulations. The quality monitoring takes place in accordance with the European Union's bathing water guideline, which places specific requirements for water hygienic quality. The responsible authorities are obliged to regularly test the bathing water and to inform the population about the results and, if necessary, necessary measures.

The general recommendation for bathers is to forego swimming when viewing blue -green algae or when the authorities warnings. Information about the current water quality can often be found on local websites or about the responsible health authorities. It is also important that parents supervise their children and keep them away from potentially contaminated water to avoid health risks.
