Microbiological quality of coastal waters in tropical climates
Main Article Content
Abstract
It was carried out an actualization of coastal water standards with recreational uses and actual problems with relation of water in tropical climates. It was discussed about microbiological indicators used in these water and water borne diseases most frequently associated and the difference between of water ecosystems and behavior of some microorganisms in tropical climates.
