Doctors warn that bathing in fountains can be a threat to human health.
In most fountains - technical water, which goes around in a circle without special cleaning and disinfection, so swimming in them, and even more so drinking - is forbidden..
Epidemiologists have discovered in the water of urban fountains the bacteria of Escherichia coli and other microorganisms that cause parasitic diseases, fungus, pneumonia and even hepatitis A, because water easily tolerates microbes.
Periodically, chemical impurities are added to fountains so that water does not bloom. These substances cause the development of complicated allergies, dermatitis and are extremely dangerous to the eyes. After bathing in such water should be sure to wash in the shower with soap, doctors recommend.
