People with
jobs in environmental health in the Wirral are taking action to reduce concerns about toxic algae on the beach.
According to the Wirral Globe, council officials have launched examinations to ensure water pumped from a nearby lake does not contain the dangerous substance.
This comes after a resident's pet dog died from acute shock due to consuming a contaminated substance in the local area.
With researchers unaware what the mysterious green fluid is, environmental health officials have launched an investigation to find the source of the problem.
Chris Meaden, cabinet minister for leisure and tourism, said: "The substance was identified as algae, but the type of algae could not be established due to its state of decomposition."
Officials with
environmental health jobs at Wirral Council aim to protect and improve living conditions for local residents, as well as ensure public health policies are adhered to.
Workers from the local authority aim to create a healthier working society and improve the quality of life of community members.
