It has been published in Environmental Science & Technology journal that relaxing on beach and going over there to spend your vacation this summer may not be a safe choice. According to scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the yellow water in addition to bits and pieces of fecal matter could create problem for beach goers.

In addition, the level of pollution in the world today is set in Hawaii waters to a large extent.
According to earlier studies, there are a number of fecal contaminants on the beach sand. Warm-blooded animals and humans excrete fecal coliform.

The authors have received funding from the Hawaii Department of Health. According to the new study, one should avoid the water in addition to the sand when asked to stay away with “no swimming” signs at the seaside. According to the researchers, more fecal contamination could be there on the sand than in the ocean waters as a result of different bacterial deterioration rates.

According to the authors, “The differential decay of wastewater bacteria in beach sand and in seawater provides a kinetic explanation to the often-observed higher abundance of fecal indicator bacteria in beach sand”.

Scientists at Clemson University said in an online article that fecal coliform bacteria are the most widespread microbiological contaminants found in natural waters and are considered as indicator organisms. Some of the bacteria could be pathogenic and cause typhoid, ear infections dysentery, gastroenteritis, cholera and hepatitis A.
