Abstract

ABSTRACT Sanitary indicators standardly used in water quality monitoring refer to fecal microorganisms or cyanobacterial toxins, but at present they do not include fungi, despite the fact that many fungi can pose potential health hazards. The aim of study was a quantitative and qualitative assessment of yeast in waters of urban artificial recreational reservoirs in relation to microbiological and sanitary cleanliness indicators and to demonstrate that yeast could be an indicator of anthropogenic pollution. In total, 18 species of yeast were isolated, including 13 classified as clinically relevant. Tested reservoirs exceeded the standards of sanitary indicators acceptable for bathing water. Since isolated yeasts are associated with living organisms, their presence in the water of urban recreational reservoirs may be a public health concern. Therefore, a mycological analysis should be incorporated into standard water quality assessment procedures. The results obtained are very promising, but further research is still needed.

水生酵母水平作为城市休闲水库微生物质量的可能指标

摘要水质监测中标准使用的卫生指标是指粪便微生物或蓝藻毒素，但目前不包括真菌，尽管许多真菌可能对健康造成潜在危害。本研究的目的是对城市人工休闲水库水体中酵母的微生物和卫生清洁度指标进行定量和定性评估，并证明酵母可能是人为污染的指标。总共分离出18种酵母，其中13种被归类为临床相关。经过测试的蓄水池超过了洗澡水可接受的卫生指标标准。由于分离的酵母与活生物体有关，它们在城市休闲水库水中的存在可能是一个公共卫生问题。因此，真菌学分析应纳入标准水质评估程序。所获得的结果非常有希望，但仍需进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system''s thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management. Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include: network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation; novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system; demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control; stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management; monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater; water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure); resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing; data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems; decision-support and informatic tools;...
