A French water charity sounded the alarm Monday about pollution in the Seine just over 100 days before the start of the Olympics when the river is set to be used for swimming events. Surfrider Foundation said it had analysed six months of tests over winter undertaken by a laboratory and concluded that the river water remained polluted and potentially dangerous.
