EMBARGOED TO 0001 WEDNESDAY MARCH 27 Undated handout photo issued by River Action of a water sample taken from the River Thames around Hammersmith Bridge in west London. High levels of E.coli have been found along a stretch of the River Thames that will be used for the historic Oxbridge Boat Race this weekend, researchers said. Issue date: Wednesday March 27, 2024. PA Photo. The bacteria, which can cause serious infections, was discovered during regular testing by River Action and the Fulham Reach Boat Club between February 28 and March 26, using a World Health Organisation-verified E.coli analyser. The 16 tests around Hammersmith Bridge in west London indicated an average of 2,869 E.coli colony forming units (CFU) per 100ml of water. To meet the Environment Agency's inland bathing water quality standards, the level should be below 1,000 CFU per 100ml. See PA story ENVIRONMENT Thames .
