Se han notificado danos sistema respiratorio. Materiales y Metodos: realizo estudio ecologico, para evaluar los egresos hospitalarios personas viven ciudades donde operan CTEC (Tocopilla Huasco), se comparo c...

New Jersey’s coastal bays are subject to ongoing multiple anthropogenic impacts from an expanding population in adjoining coastal watersheds. Eutrophication poses the most serious threat to the long-term health and function of the bays, impacting essential habitats (e.g., seagrass and shellfish beds) as well as finfish nursery areas. Nutrient and organic carbon loading in these shallow, lagoon-...

The Greek coastal waters are subjected to harmful algal bloom (HAB) phenomena due to the occurrence of species characterized as toxic (TX), potentially toxic (PT), and non-toxic, high biomass (HB) producers causing harm at multiple levels. The total number of (TX), (PT) and (HB) algae reported in this work are 61, but only 16 species have been associated with the occurrence of important HABs ca...

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) pose unique risks to the citizens, stakeholders, visitors, environment and economy of state Florida. Florida has been historically subjected reoccurring blooms toxic marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (C. C. Davis) G. Hansen & Moestrup since at least first contact with explorers in 1500’s. However, ongoing immigration more than 100,000 people year –1 into s...

Climate change has been associated with intensified harmful algal blooms (HABs). Some microalgae produce toxins that accumulate in food webs, adversely affecting the environment, public health and economy. Ocean acidification (OA) is a major consequence of high anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The carbon chemistry pH aquatic ecosystems have significantly altered as result. impacts climate on metabo...

Abstract Urbanization of coastal areas worldwide has increased due to an increase in the global population. The production sustainable aquaculture is greatly impacted by a surge this urbanization. In certain countries, particularly for individuals with more limited space metropolitan areas, such as along Johor’s area, might well be good strategy maintain food availability (continuous plus high-...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are among the most severe ecological marine problems worldwide. Under favorable climate and oceanographic conditions, toxin-producing microalgae species may proliferate, reach increasingly high cell concentrations in seawater, accumulate shellfish, threaten health of seafood consumers. There is an urgent need for development effective tools to help shellfish farmers ...

ABSTRACT Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can generate toxins that be aerosolized and negatively impact human health through inhalation. HABs are often found in waterways near residences, therefore, HAB potentially affect both indoor outdoor air quality. Given predicted to increase worldwide, effective mitigation strategies needed prevent the inhalation of toxins. In this work, we characterized p...
