“Ang two mg per liter, 'yan ang guideline value, 'yan ang standards natin kung tawagin for Class SB. Meaning, 'yung water body kung saan ginagamit itong guideline value is fit for swimming and other recreational activities so dapat hanggang two mg per liter,” Cuna said.“Kapag lumagpas depending how much the exceedancy then may warning na on hindi dapat gumawa ng mga activities na 'yun, recreational activities or swimming,” he added.
