Water pollution
The Marina da Glória as the venue for the sailing competitions was criticized by the athletes participating in the competitions at the 2016 Olympic Games, as the water quality in Guanabara Bay is very poor. Many streams and rivers flow into Guanabara Bay, the untreated water often comes from one of the surrounding favelas and is contaminated with germs and garbage.
