美国环境保护署致力于在2012年前为沿海沃茨制定新的娱乐用水质量标准，以加强对游泳者的保护。我们回顾了目前的娱乐水质标准的不确定性和缺点，描述了关键的研究需求，为新的标准的发展，以及建议一条新的标准发展的道路。我们认为，最需要的研究需要包括完成热带沃茨和受城市径流和动物粪便不利影响的沃茨的流行病学研究，以及旨在验证指标和病原体浓度模型的使用以及健康风险预测的研究。
The United States Environmental Protection Agency is committed to developing new recreational water quality criteria for coastal waters by 2012 to provide increased protection to swimmers. We review the uncertainties and shortcomings of the current recreational water quality criteria, describe critical research needs for the development of new criteria, as well as recommend a path forward for new criteria development. We believe that among the most needed research needs are the completion of epidemiology studies in tropical waters and in waters adversely impacted by urban runoff and animal feces, as well as studies aimed to validate the use of models for indicator and pathogen concentration and health risk predictions.
