Seafood consumption drawn against division "Las Conchas" is hazardous to health
Beachfront residences have no drainage, so waste from septic tanks leak into the sea
By: Hector Aldrete Germán Puerto Penasco, Sonora
The residences at the seaside fractionation "Las Conchas" does not have a sewer system, so their buildings use septic tanks, which causes the waste dumped there from leaking into the sea, which creates a risk sanitary contamination of seafood that are extracted in the area, so determined Ubaldo Armando Sanchez, Head of the Health Control of Rocky Point.
It was checked by a query that took authorities Oomapas the residences that are at the seashore in "Las Conchas" have no drainage and only use septic tanks and to be very on the edge of the beach, Hence dumped wastes are filtered through the sand to the sea, causing water contamination and hence also the seafood there is.
This may cause risk to the health of those who consume shellfish that are mined in this sea area, that although the pangas or fishing boats are more deep in the sea and the leaks are on the shore, pollution Day day by these leaks if they generate some risk, even though this may be less, said the Head of Health Regulation on this port.
The issue of leaks is a sensitive issue that we are talking septic tanks house the waste urine and feces of those who live in the houses at the edge of the sea.
As a very fine sand which lies below houses built there, the leaks are larger and faster to get into the water, remember that all Cliff beach area with just dig a few meters can be found waters.
At one point, as responsible for monitoring the proper state in the food consumed in the city, they will be monitoring the waters off "Las Conchas" to see the degree of dirt on these can be found by these leaks.
Fractionation "Las Conchas" has more than 200 homes were built to the sea in the course of little more than 30 years, reaching just a few meters from the tidal limit, which even time has been bumping with the walls of some buildings.
