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]
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 ...

Polystyrene microplastics exacerbated the toxicity of okadaic acid to the small intestine in mice
Microplastics (MPs) and okadaic acid (OA) are known to coexist in marine organisms, potentially impacting humans through food chain. However, the combined toxicity of OA and MPs remains unknown.

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 ...

On occurrence of certain biotoxins along the Kerala Coast [PDF]
Occurrence of algal blooms has been reported from the coastal regions of Kerala. A study was conducted to collect detailed information on location and seasonality of the incidence of PSP and DSP toxins in-the bivalves of (his region for providing ...

The Future of Harmful Algal Blooms in Florida Inland and Coastal Waters
Microscopic algae in oceans and inland waters sometimes grow to excessive levels called “blooms.” Warmer water temperatures and increased nutrient levels exacerbate blooms, and when nutrients are high, temperature increases of just a few degrees cause ...

Marine Algal Toxins and Public Health: Insights from Shellfish and Fish, the Main Biological Vectors
Exposure to toxigenic harmful algal blooms (HABs) can result in widely recognized acute poisoning in humans. The five most commonly recognized HAB-related illnesses are diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP), paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), amnesic ...

A modeling analysis of spatial statistical indicators of thresholds for algal blooms
Predicting algal blooms both within and among aquatic ecosystems is important yet difficult because multiple factors promote and suppress blooms. Statistical indicators (e.g., variance and autocorrelation) based on time series can provide warning of ...
