European Committee: water of 10 Hungarian baths has low quality!
Change language:
The European Commission and the European Environmental Agency have reported that more than two-thirds of the Hungarian baths have high-quality water. However, there are ten with bad quality water.
The Commission and the Agency published their annual report on Monday. They tested 22,295 baths in the whole of Europe in 2019, 95 per cent of which passed the minimum quality requirements set by EU legislation, reported hvg.hu.
88.4 per cent of the 257 baths that were tested in Hungary met the required minimum. According to the report, 7.8 per cent of the cases did not have enough data to be able to be qualified.
According to the findings, seaside baths have better quality water generally, then continental ones.
1.3 per cent of the water in the tested baths in the European Union, the UK, Albania and Switzerland were deemed low-quality last year, which is the same result as in 2018.
In Hungary, 3.9 per cent, that is ten baths, did not meet the requirements, which is higher than 2018’s 3.2 per cent.
