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