Untreated sewage being pumped into the sea off the east coast of China is causing potentially dangerous red tides in the waters around Shanghai.

The local branch of the state oceanography bureau says the number of red tides being reported each year is increasing.

It blames the dumping of untreated household sewage.

The Shanghai Daily newspaper said the local government was monitoring the situation and is expected to spend more on sewage disposal facilities in the next few years. Red tides, a bloom of bacteria that gives a red tint¹ to coastal² waters, produces toxins³ that kill fish and contaminate crustaceans⁴.

由于未经处理的污水被注入中国东部沿海，上海周围水域不断出现存在潜在危险的赤潮。

上海市海洋局说每年赤潮的次数都在增加。
