The Individual and Combined Effects of the Cyanotoxins, Anatoxin-a and Microcystin-LR, on the Growth, Toxin Production, and Nitrogen Fixation of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Algae

Toxins, 2019
Globally, eutrophication and warming of aquatic ecosystems has increased the frequency and intensity of cyanobacterial blooms and their associated toxins, with the simultaneous detection of multiple cyanotoxins often occurring.

Cyanotoxins: New health risk factor in Serbia [PDF]

Archive of Oncology, 2008
Cyanobacteria are responsible for poisoning numerous cases of livestock and other animals, but sometimes they induce serious problems in humans. Mass occurrence and blooms of cyanobacteria were studied in rivers, canals, lakes, and accu­mulations that ...

The occurrence and human health risk assessment of microcystins in diverse food matrixes during production

Heliyon
Globally, the presence of cyanotoxins in water supplies and food has been widely investigated for over a decade. Cyanotoxins are harmful metabolites produced by toxic cyanobacterial genera.

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

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

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes

Global Challenges, 2023
This perspective discusses the challenges associated with the removal of cyanotoxins from raw water sources for drinking water treatment and the emergence of sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (SR‐AOPs) as an effective treatment technique.

The paradox of cyanotoxins: from natural toxins to biotechnological resources

Euchembioj Reviews
Cyanotoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria that decrease water quality and exert a wide range of harmful effects on many organisms, including humans, through the food web.

Ecological and human health risk assessments of cyanotoxins and heavy metals in a drinking water supply reservoir

Journal of Water and Health, 2023
Human beings are frequently exposed to a mixture of chemical pollutants through the ingestion of contaminated drinking water. The present study aimed to assess the ecological and human health risks associated with the contamination of cyanotoxins and ...

Microcystins in planktonic and benthic food web components from Greenlandic lakes

Ecosphere, 2021
There is increasing global concern regarding the social, economic, human health, and environmental health implications of cyanotoxins. However, much of what we know about cyanotoxins comes from studies of temperate or tropical systems with conspicuous ...

Cyanotoxins at low doses induce apoptosis and inflammatory effects in murine brain cells: Potential implications for neurodegenerative diseases

Toxicology Reports, 2016
Cyanotoxins have been shown to be highly toxic for mammalian cells, including brain cells. However, little is known about their effect on inflammatory pathways.
