What is the ColiMinder doing in Paris?

We are still impressed by all the media coverage of the ColiMinder reporting the important role it played during the Olympics2024 in Paris.

To ensure the health and safety of triathletes and open water swimmers alike, 6 ColiMinder devices are installed on the banks of the Seine to constantly monitor faecal contamination levels.
With reliable measurement data available in just 15 minutes, decisions on the organisation of the competitions could be made reliably, thus ensuring the safety of the athletes.

Not only our favourite TV station in Austria, the ORF, ran several reports on the ColiMinder, but also the deputy mayor of Paris commented positively on the performance of the ColiMinder, being convinced of its reliability!
