Due to blue-green algae, it is forbidden to swim on the Daugava beach in Ikškile, while it is not recommended to swim in the Ogre HPP reservoir, Lāčplēša street 9, Ķegum and Daugavas street and Austriņu vej in Lielvārde.
As the air temperature increases and the dry weather persists, the risk of cyanobacteria proliferation or cyanobacteria blooms increases.
The municipality invites residents to visually evaluate the water quality of the swimming area and not to go swimming if individual, small, green dots are visible in the water or if the water is covered with a mass of green, blue-green or yellow-brown cyanobacteria. It is not recommended to use such water for watering pets. It is not recommended to eat fish caught in such a body of water.
For more sensitive people, contact with the toxins released by blue-green algae may cause allergic skin reactions, less often gastrointestinal, nervous system or liver disorders.
Swimming is prohibited if cyanobacteria appear en masse in the swimming pool and cover the water area of the swimming pool.
