Abstract
The applicability of WHO/UNEP criteria and the EC bathing water direct ive as microbial water quality guidelines were examined by means of an epidemiological-microbiological study of two Mediterranean bathing be aches. Neither set of guidelines proved particularly successful for pr otecting the public from health hazards related to faecal contaminatio n of bathing waters.
