Water Quality

Classification: Good (based on 2021–2024 four-year evaluation). Two sewage outfalls discharge into the sea approximately 50 and 70 metres west of the monitoring point. Urban context with additional sewage discharges approximately 200 and 1,080 metres from the beach associated with port pollution sources. Ostreopsis ovata microalgae blooms have occurred in the region; monitoring station NAUT at Varazze recorded values between 10,000–30,000 cells/litre in July 2020, 2022, and 2024, but did not exceed the 30,000 cells/litre limit during 2020–2024.

Risks

Torrente Teiro stream mouth discharges directly into the bathing water. During heavy rainfall and upstream pollution events, increased stream flow may transport effluents downstream. Ostreopsis ovata microalgae blooms can produce temporary, reversible respiratory effects and fever in sensitive individuals through aerosol inhalation.
