Antwerp, the largest city in Belgium, has a long history as a port and one of the world''s biggest importers of fish and seafood. Today, it is home to over half of the world''s offshore fishing industry. As a result, it has one of the highest rates of contamination of any city in the world. In fact, it is not uncommon to find sewage in the city''s water supply. This is a major problem because fish and seafood are contaminated with all types of harmful bacteria and other pollutants that can harm humans and other animals that come in contact with them.

In fact, it has been known for scientists to detect parasites and bacteria from the water used for human consumption. In Antwerp, tap water can be easily discarded without a trace being left behind. Consequently, this contributes to a considerable increase in the pollution of the surrounding environment.

The tap water quality in Antwerp is bad enough to cause illnesses such as diarrhea and skin irritation
