Within official beach zones , from May 15 to June 21, it was reportedly surveyed:
- microbiological indicators - 321 samples of water from surface water bodies, of which 113 samples (35.2%) did not meet the standards for microbial contamination according to the LPC index (lactose-positive coliforms), etc.; 1107 water samples were taken, of which 297 samples (26.8%) did not meet the standards;

Water quality within beaches in the regions:
In Kyiv, 60 samples of water from surface water bodies were analyzed for microbiological and chemical parameters. In 30 samples, deviations from the standard were detected by the LPC index ("Galernyi" - 6200, "Veselka" - 70,000, "Detskyi" - 70,000, "Zolotyi" - 70,000, "Molodizhnyi" - 24,000, "Tsentralnyi" - 24,000, "Obolon Island" - 24,000, "Raiduha" - 24,000, "Chortoryi" - 24,000) and in 28 samples, deviations by chemical indicators were detected.
In Kyiv region, deviations from the standard in terms of chemical indicators were detected at the City Beach in Pereyaslav. In addition, the following are being monitored: the Central City Beach in Bila Tserkva, and the Chaika Children's Beach in Chaiky village, Obukhiv district - both of them meet all the standards.
