The following year, starting in 2004, the Japan College of Analytical Chemistry, located in Kita Ward, Osaka, began investigating the degree of turbidity of river water and the number of bacteria.
The water quality is improving, and the endangered Japanese eel was confirmed to be living there in November last year, but E. coli, an indicator of pollution, continues to be detected, and in an August survey, 100 milliliters of river water It was about 1000 pieces each.
The standards for swimming pools set by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare are that “E. coli must not be detected,” and Takashi Miyamichi, director of academic affairs at the Japan College of Analytical Chemistry, points out that “even now, this is not a river you can swim in.” .
He added, “It’s like swimming in water that has accumulated in the toilet bowl, and it can lead to health problems such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.I am also a Hanshin fan and am looking forward to “that”. However, at this time of year when the water temperature is high, bacteria can easily breed, so you should definitely refrain from jumping into the water.”
