The number of swimming pools in many countries has multiplied several times.

Bathers are the main general source of pollution, a wide variety of substances can be transmitted to pool water from their bodies. As the demand for swimming and bathing facilities has recently increased and extended beyond the supervision, heavy loads of bathers are frequent and the water may become excessively polluted unless suitable precautions are taken to maintain the quality at a reasonable standard.

Seventeen pools located at clubs, universities, schools, and hotels have been selected and studied by evaluating: the sanitary engineering conditions; personal, socioeconomic, and health problems data of the users, and swimming pools water quality characterizations. |
