This achieved through meta-synthesis analysis previous research findings, purpose integrating their results inform present intrinsic case study. Among many studies associating reviewed current study, microcystin inferred constitute public hazard due continued presence drinking water sources. Majority are support potential association between toxins findings can be used edify medical professionals all levels prevention, including diagnosis treatment patients, also these act baseline that required for better informed Lake management quality.
