FOX NEWS FLASH TOP HEADLINES FOR JULY 20

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

 * At least 78 beaches in Massachusetts are closed, according to the state's
   Department of Public Health, due to high levels of bacteria.
 * Most of the closures are related to high levels of E. Coli that are
   associated with waste.
 * Swimming in contaminated water can lead to gastrointestinal and respiratory
   issues, as well as skin rashes.

Many sunbathers who want to take a dip in the cool water to escape the summer
heat are being thwarted by high bacteria levels in water at popular beaches
across New England.




The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported that 78 public beaches
were closed Wednesday, mostly because of high levels of bacteria. Nearly a dozen
beaches and bodies of water in New Hampshire were also under some sort of
advisory. In Maine, eight beaches were closed because of contamination. There
was no swimming at 10 state parks in Vermont.

Most of the closures were because of high levels of E. coli associated with
waste. Others were for algae blooms, some of which can be toxic.

FROM 'FOREVER CHEMICALS'



Some of the high levels of bacteria in lakes and ponds can be linked to heavy
rainfall that caused flooding and contamination, including agricultural runoff.
That's also contributing to problems in coastal waters.
