Fecal indicator bacteria in tropical beach sand: baseline findings from Port Dickson coastline, Strait of Malacca (Malaysia)

This pilot study aims to assess Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination and its perceived health risks among beachgoers in ten tropical beach sands along Port Dickson coastline (Malaysia). This study also aims to determine the relationship between perceived health symptoms and tropical beach sand e...
