Vlasti u južnoj Holandiji izdale su trodnevno upozorenje za oko 200.000 stanovnika kojima se nalaže da prokuvavaju vodu nakon što je bakterija ešerihija koli otkrivena u vodi za piće, prenose danas lokalni mediji.
Upozorenje je izdato za stanovnike gradova Dordreht, Zvajndreht i Hendrik-Ido-Ambaht, što je izazvalo nestašicu flaširane vode u supermarketima, preneo je danas "NL tajms".
Zvaničnici su naveli da sva voda iz slavine mora da se prokuva tri minuta pre upotrebe za piće, kuvanje ili pranje zuba.
Ova mera ima za cilj da eliminiše sve bakterije koje su možda ušle u vodovodni sistem kroz distributivnu mrežu.
Upozorenje će ostati na snazi sve dok testovi ne potvrde da je voda iz slavine ponovo potpuno bezbedna za konzumaciju bez tretmana.
Ešerihija koli je bakterija koja se prirodno javlja u crevima ljudi i životinja, ali kada je prisutna u kontaminiranoj hrani ili vodi, može da izazove gastrointestinalne bolesti, uključujući stomačne i crevne tegobe.
Zdravstvene vlasti upozorile su da ljudi sa oslabljenim imunološkim sistemom mogu ozbiljno da se razbole.
Nakon objave upozorenja, potražnja za flaširanom vodom u supermarketima u Dordrehtu brzo je porasla.
Neki stanovnici su pokušali da kupe zalihe neposredno pre zatvaranja prodavnica, a u najmanje jednom supermarketu sva flaširana voda je rasprodata u roku od 45 minuta.
Druge prodavnice su takođe prijavile nestašice jer se panična kupovina vode povećala nakon upozorenja, navodi "NL tajms".

Telegraf.rsIndependentCenter8 days agoAuthorities in southern Netherlands issued a three-day warning for approximately 200,000 residents, advising them to boil tap water after the presence of E. coli bacteria was detected in the drinking water supply. The warning applies to the cities of Dordrecht, Zwanenburg, and Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht. Local media reported that the alert caused a shortage of bottled water in supermarkets, with some stores selling out within 45 minutes. Officials stated that all tap water must be boiled for three minutes before use for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. The alert will remain in effect until tests confirm the water is safe again. E. coli is a naturally occurring bacteria in the intestines of humans and animals, but when present in contaminated food or water, it can cause gastrointestinal illness. Health authorities warned that people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk.
