Ohio, E.P.A and Neighboring States to Study Ohio River's Bacteria Levels

Ohio is working with five neighboring states and the federal Environmental Protection Agency to study bacteria levels in the Ohio River. Officials say - if the levels are too high, it might be unsafe for people to swim, boat, or fish in the river. Linda Oros works with the OHIO E.P.A and she spoke with Ohio Public Radio's Bill Cohen about the dilemma. The other states working with Ohio to study bacteria levels in the Ohio River are West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois.
