Lake Como Polluted?
“A recent report released by the Italian enviro-org. Legambiente describes a beach on Lake Como near George Clooney’s villa as “one of the worst polluted beaches in the country.” Although the famously beautiful lake is a clear azure blue and does not look like an unhealthy microbe-infested danger zone, according to Legambiente’s scientific director Stefano Ciafani the lake is unsafe for swimming. “On Lake Como this year we have found a worrying situation from the point of view of microbiological pollution. The problem of purification has not been resolved (over the last 20 years), and this applies to all the municipalities that border the lake, and also those at some distance from it, which use the rivers that discharge into the lake as sewage pipes.” Legambiente warns that along with sunny memories and a golden tan, beachgoers may also bring home much less pleasant skin infections, dermatitis and salmonella.”
Looked beautiful when we were there. Who knew? Hope they can clean it up!
