NASA Research: Toxic algae found in 2300 US lakes
NASA has just released a new dataset that shows 2300 lakes in the US are contaminated with cyanobacteria. In warm, stagnant, and nutrient-rich (nitrogen and phosphorus) water, cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, can form HABs. Some HABs are toxic, harming aquatic ecosystems, people, animals, drinking water supplies, the economy, and recreational ...

Modified plant clears up deadly water toxin
Plants may be a useful tool in clearing water of harmful toxins produced by blue-green algae, new research indicates. Some blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) — which grow in warm, nutrient-rich waters — produce toxins that can severely damage the liver or nervous system. The effects of the toxins range from a mild illness to rapid death. They can remain in water supplies after the algae have been ...
