Harmful algal blooms [PDF]

open access: yesFact Sheet, 2007
Freshwater and marine harmful algal blooms (HABs) can occur anytime water use is impaired due to excessive accumulations of algae. HAB occurrence is affected by a complex set of physical, chemical, biological, hydrological, and meteorological conditions making it difficult to isolate specific causative environmental factors.

Harmful algal blooms and public health [PDF]

open access: yesHarmful Algae, 2016
The five most commonly recognized Harmful Algal Bloom related illnesses include Ciguatera poisoning, Paralytic Shellfish poisoning, Neurotoxin Shellfish poisoning, Diarrheic Shellfish Poisoning and Amnesic Shellfish poisoning. Although they are each the product of different toxins, toxin assemblages or HAB precursors these clinical syndromes have much ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics in water: Improving removal in wastewater treatment plants with alternative coagulants

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...

A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Methods for Algal Bloom Detection Using Remote Sensing Images

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023
Algal blooms are a major environmental challenge for lakes and reservoirs and pose severe threats to water on both aquatic and human health. Conventional algorithms used for algal bloom detection based on remote sensing reflectance proved to be effective

Strategic Prioritization of Environmental, Social, and Governance Goals: A Data‐Driven Efficiency Framework

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organizations are increasingly required to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives alongside operational performance, yet empirical guidance on how firms should prioritize among ESG activities under resource constraints remains limited.

Harmful Algal Blooms

open access: yes, 2023
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in marine, brackish, and fresh-water environments are caused by a variety of microscopic algae and cyanobacteria. HABs are hazardous and sometimes fatal to human and animal populations, either through toxicity, or by creating ecological conditions, such as oxygen depletion, which can kill fish and other economically or ...

A Copula-based Method for River Ecological Flow Quantification and Algal Bloom Risk Assessment in the Hanjiang River [PDF]

open access: yes长江科学院院报
[Objective] Riverine ecological flow quantification is essential for maintaining riverine ecological health. Traditional methods often overlook the joint risks of hydrological and ecological factors and tend to rely on single-scenario calculations.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

A novel algal bloom risk assessment framework by integrating environmental factors based on explainable machine learning

open access: yesEcological Informatics
In recent years, the algal blooms have intensified, posing mounting threats to aquatic ecosystems and water security. However, most previous studies merely detected algal blooms according to the characteristics of the water body at the time of algal ...
