The beach is the place to be to beat the summer heat, but how safe really is the water to swim? A new study suggests that there may be more pollution off the Jersey Shore than previously realized.
After collecting the samples, scientists carefully measure them into plastic trays that are then sealed and incubated for 24 hours. Using UV light, the bacteria glows and provides a new way for researchers to measure how much of it there is.
Using a chart, the researchers can better determine if levels are safe enough for swimmers and surfers to venture into. "This is huge...you’re always worried about getting an infection, getting sick," said Dr. Jeffrey Weisenburg, who hopes the team's findings can be used across the state."Hopefully our model is used to better help the public."Copyright NBC New York
