Abstract(s)

Thermal waters are used for disease prevention or treatment, for rehabilitation or welfare. The health risks associated with the use of these waters depends not only on the nature of the waters, but also on the manner of its use and the immune status of users. Exposure to microorganism scan occur through inhalation, ingestion or contact. The related severity and diversity of diseases leads to the verification of bacteriological standards established by law in order to ensure its quality and safety.
