Oral exposure to environmental cyanobacteria toxins: Implications for cancer risk. [PDF]
Environ Int, 2021 Areca nut/betel quid (AN/BQ) chewing, a prevalent practice in parts of the Pacific and Asia, is an independent cause of cancers of the oral cavity and esophagus and may be linked to liver cancer. The mechanisms of AN/BQ-associated carcinogenesis are unclear.

Understanding the Risks of Diffusion of Cyanobacteria Toxins in Rivers, Lakes, and Potable Water. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel), 2023 Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, may be prevalent in our rivers and tap water. These minuscule bacteria can grow swiftly and form blooms in warm, nutrient-rich water.

Toxicological and biochemical responses of the earthworm Eisenia fetida to cyanobacteria toxins. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Irrigation with eutrophic water containing cyanobacteria toxins poses a potential risk to soil animals. To evaluate ecotoxicological effect of microcystins (MCs) on earthworms, filter paper acute toxicity test, avoidance test and a 14-d artificial soil ...

Occurrence, Distribution and Toxins of Benthic Cyanobacteria in German Lakes
Toxics, 2023 Cyanobacteria are favored by climate change and global warming; however, to date, most research and monitoring programs have focused on planktic cyanobacteria. Benthic cyanobacteria blooms also increase and pose a risk to animal and human health; however,

Cyanobacteria toxins: diversity and ecological effects
Limnetica, 2001 Cyanobacteria are known to produce secondary metabolites which are toxic to mammals, commonly known as “toxins”. These have been described as having neurotoxic, hepatotoxic and dermatotoxic effects, being a hazard also to humans. Cyanobacteria blooms may

Cyanobacteria toxins in the Salton Sea
Saline systems, 2006 BackgroundThe Salton Sea (SS) is the largest inland body of water in California: surface area 980 km2, volume 7.3 million acre-feet, 58 km long, 14–22 km wide, maximum depth 15 m. Located in the southeastern Sonoran desert of California, it is 85 m below

The Genetic Basis of Toxin Production in Cyanobacteria
Freshwater Reviews, 2009 The increasing incidence of mass developments of Cyanobacteria in fresh- and brackish water is a matter of growing concern due to the production of toxins that threaten human and livestock health. The toxins that are produced by freshwater Cyanobacteria comprise hepatotoxins (cyclic peptides such as microcystins and nodularin, as well as alkaloids such

Phylogeny and Biogeography of Cyanobacteria and Their Produced Toxins [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2013 Phylogeny is an evolutionary reconstruction of the past relationships of DNA or protein sequences and it can further be used as a tool to assess population structuring, genetic diversity and biogeographic patterns.

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are a natural phenomenon produced mainly by the interaction between natural and anthropogenic events. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of cyanotoxins that can have harmful effects on different ...

Removal Of Cyanobacteria Toxins From Drinking Water By Adsorption On Activated Carbon Fibers [PDF]
, 2008 Natural fibers from macadamia nut shell, dried coconut shell endocarp, unripe coconut mesocarp, sugarcane bagasse and pine wood residue were used to prepare activated carbon fibers (ACF) with potential application for removing microcystins.
