Les nouvelles révélations sur la Seine qui interrogent

while the Paris Olympic Games must end this Sunday with the closing ceremony, the investigative site miapart revealed this week that contrary to what the organizing committee of the Games officially declared, the quality of the water on the stage was largely insufficient since the start of the event so what are the risks how were the events able to be held and why invest so much money to clean up the water on the stage hi CLA this is the topic on the front page of its news of the day Mediapart therefore obtained a few days ago the results of official analysis of the samples taken every day by the Eau de Paris teams, the laboratory attached to the Paris town hall and the results are definitive. Stage water quality was only sufficient for athletes to swim 20% of the time since July 26 last day of the Olympics kickoff roughly between July 27 and August 5 EOS quality levels set by the International Triathlon Federation were only respected for 2 days on July 30 and 31, July 31 being the day when the men's and women's triathlon individual duel events took place, this explains why all the training in the scene was postponed a few days before the events and the 5outû therefore on the day of the mixed relay event the athletes therefore swam in water which was not up to standard but it does not stop there according to data published on the site of the City of Paris spotted by France Info the thresholds recommended by the health authorities were exceeded on July 17 at bramarie the place of the bathing of the mother of Paris in nidalgo in any case since the start of the games it is very complicated to have access to an analysis of the water quality of the scene the organizing committee of the Games only gives some data the Paris town hall and the prefecture of Île-de-France have adopted their own weekly bulletin launched in June and the The Île-de-France Regional Health Agency refuses to share the health notices ordered by the prefecture but then what are the risks precisely and there are two things which are particularly scrutinized in these analyzes these are the parcel descherichia rates and enteroco two bacteria which if present in too large quantities can alter the quality of the water and swimmers could catch gastroenteritis or skin diseases for example the thing is that the concentration of these bacteria in the rivers increases after heavy rains which can cause the treatment plants to overflow and cause an overflow of wastewater and this is therefore what happened just before the gios we remember the opening ceremony under the rain then there is also another risk it is swimmer's dermatitis basically these are itchy skin which can appear after swimming in water where water birds and water snails live they are caused by the larvae of the serercire a parasite found in green arcool and these other risk leptospyosis which is transmitted by urine parasitic and which can cause vomiting fever headaches and diarrhea then depending on the organizing committee of the Games the triathletes were informed of the analyzes of the water on the stage before the mix relay on August 5 and in particular of the exceeding of the regulatory rates at one of the four test points for the Eolie bacteria but there would have had no objection to swimming on their part the mixed relay event therefore took place because the athletes agreed to swim in the scene but then how much does it cost to make the scene swimmable and who finances all of this you should know that the plan launched in 2015 by the Île-de-France Region mobilized a total of 1.4 billion euros. There are several actors who financed this project, namely the regional prefecture the city of Paris the Agency of Eau Sante Normandie the interdepartmental union for the sanitation of the Parisian conurbation and the communities of Sante Saint-Deny and Sainemarne so we do not have the details of all the financing but the Eau Sante Normandie agency has financed 700 million euros concretely it was necessary to build or bring up to standard lots of structures at different Z right of the seène and even on tributaries like the Marne so to give you an example of work we can cite the retention basin of sterlitz which aims to absorb precipitation in the event of major bad weather, it is a huge tank 35 m high and 50 m in diameter which alone cost 100 million euros but then how is the city of Paris going to it does for bathing in the post Geo scene because yes the goal is to perpetuate bathing in the scene the Paris town hall has also planned to open three bathing sites from the summer of 2025 the bodies of water will be monitored and delimited by buoys there will be a pontoon to access it with spaces for changing, showering and storing your belongings on which to see how all these tests will evolve and if swimming will be effective in a year we will follow we continue with the news in brief and we start with this information in the United States the two main candidates for the
