我们比较了加利福尼亚州北奥兰治县(NOC)和圣克鲁斯县(SCC)两个冬季(1998和1999年)冲浪者报告的健康症状发生率，以确定这些症状是否与接触城市径流有关。在1998年冬季，NOC参与者报告的症状几乎是SCC参与者的两倍。在这两个研究年中，每周暴露在水中2.5小时，不同症状类别的风险平均增加10%。我们的发现表明，未经处理的城市径流排放到公共海滩可能会带来健康风险。
We compared rates of reported health symptoms among surfers in urban North Orange County (NOC) and rural Santa Cruz County (SCC), California, during 2 winters (1998 and 1999) to determine whether symptoms were associated with exposure to urban runoff. NOC participants reported almost twice as many symptoms as SCC participants during the 1998 winter. In both study years, risk increased across symptom categories by an average of 10% for each 2.5 hours of weekly water exposure. Our findings suggest that discharging untreated urban runoff onto public beaches can pose health risks.
