From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Scoping review of the effects of cyanobacterial toxins on human and animal health and potential role in mosquito control

open access: yesDiscover Environment
Cyanobacteria and their associated toxins are widespread, particularly in aquatic environments. Periodic comprehensive assessments of the effects of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxin, within the One Health framework is needed.

Cyanotoxins: A dermatological problem [PDF]

open access: yesArchive of Oncology, 2011
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), that are common inhabitants of water and terrestrial environments throughout the world, produce a broad spectrum of secondary metabolites - biologically active products that could be toxic (cyano­toxins).

In Vitro Mutagenic and Genotoxic Assessment of a Mixture of the Cyanotoxins Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The co-occurrence of various cyanobacterial toxins can potentially induce toxic effects different than those observed for single cyanotoxins, as interaction phenomena cannot be discarded. Moreover, mixtures are a more probable exposure scenario. However,

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater

open access: yesToxins
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

open access: yes, 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.

Health-Based Cyanotoxin Guideline Values Allow for Cyanotoxin-Based Monitoring and Efficient Public Health Response to Cyanobacterial Blooms

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Human health risks from cyanobacterial blooms are primarily related to cyanotoxins that some cyanobacteria produce. Not all species of cyanobacteria can produce toxins.

Review [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
Toxic cyanobacteria are common in Portuguese freshwaters and the most common toxins are microcystins. The occurrence of microcystin-LR (MCYST-LR) has been reported since 1990 and a significant number of water reservoirs that are used for drinking water ...

Microcystins in components of twelve New Hampshire lakes of varied trophic status [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Cyanobacteria toxins, called microcystins (MCs), were found in components of twelve, stratified New Hampshire (USA) lakes of varied trophic status during the summer of 1998.
