Water pollution by EHEC bacteria is possible.EHEC NEWS 26.06.2011 or 06/26/2011
After Ehec found in a river near Frankfurt, the researchers fromUniversity of Muenster and Bonn are thinking that the aggressive EHEC Germ can get into drinking water. The experts believe that the EHEC bacterium is able to settle down in the environment. After the diarrhea epidemic and because too many EHEC bacteria are passed in the "toilet"a water pollution is possible .Besonders small waterworks are considered dangerous in the topic of water pollution.
This theory may explain the finding of the EHEC - pathogen in theFrankfurter river
According to the German metropolitan areas, the risk is rather low because the water controls are happening several times a day .But is the situation in the small hydropower plants is different. In the small hydropower plants the water is sometimes tested only once a year. And even before the outbreak of EHEC in Germany was many times E.coli bacteria found in drinking water
The Drinking Water Commission has therefore decreed strict controls for the water in agriculture but also for the drinkingwater from smaller plants.
