Sanitary quality of the waters of the beaches of Costa Rica in the periodo 2018-2023

This study describes the sanitary quality of the waters of the beaches of Costa Rica, through sampling carried out by the National Water Laboratory (LNA), within the framework of the Ecological Blue Flag Program in the period 2018 to 2023. The data geometric average of the most probable number of Fe...

The data geometric average of the most probable number of Fecal Coliforms (CF/100 mL) in 182 beaches, allowed classifying the category of the respective waters, with the Microbiological Criteria to evaluate sea waters for swimming or primary contact. The results indicate that 100 beaches (54.9%) qualify as “AA”, that is, less than 10 CF/100 mL; 76 beaches (418%) as “A”, less than 100CF/100mL; 4 (2.2%) as “B”, between greater than 100 CF/100 mL to 240 CF/100 mL.

Los datos promedio geométrico del número más probable de Coliformes Fecales (CF/100 mL) en 182 playas, permitió clasificar las aguas de mar para la natación o contacto primario, según los Criterios Microbiológicos. Los resultados indican que 100 playas (54.9%) califican como “AA”, es decir, menor igual a 10 CF/100 mL; 76 playas (41.8%) como “A”, menor igual a 100CF/100mL; 4  (2.2%) como “B”, entre mayor que 100 CF/100 mL a 240 CF/100 mL. Es decir, 178 aguas de playa (98.9%) son aptas para la natación o contacto primario.
