An in-situ approach to cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms degradation of microcystin-LR cyanotoxins using TiO2 photocatalysts coated on nylon mesh supports

Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms: Chapter 15: Cyanotoxins Workgroup Report

Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms: Chapter 38: Integrating Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: Application to the Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Bloom Problem

Environmental and public health policy continues to evolve in response to new and complex social, economic and environmental drivers. Globalization and centralization of commerce, evolving patterns of land use (e.g., urbanization, deforestation), and technological advances in such areas as manufacturing and development of genetically modified foods have created new and complex classes of stress...

Sentinel Animals in a One Health Approach to Harmful Cyanobacterial and Algal Blooms.

People, domestic animals, and wildlife are all exposed to numerous environmental threats, including harmful algal blooms (HABs). However, because animals exhibit wide variations in diet, land use and biology, they are often more frequently or heavily exposed to HAB toxins than are people occupying the same habitat, making them sentinels for human exposures. Historically, we have taken advantage...

Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms: Chapter 2: A Synopsis of Research Needs Identified at the Interagency, International Symposium on Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (ISOC- HAB)

Evidence indicates that the incidence of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) is increasing in spatial extent and temporal frequency worldwide. Cyanobacterial blooms produce highly potent toxins and huge, noxious biomasses in surface waters used for recreation, commerce, and as drinking water sources. The Interagency, International Symposium on Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (ISOC-H...
