Cyanobacteria and Public Health
Cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as blue-green algae, pose a significant threat to public health and aquatic ecosystems due to their ability to produce toxic compounds. The toxins produced by cyanobacteria can cause a range of health issues, from skin irritation to neurological damage, and can be particularly hazardous for swimmers, pets, and livestock. Learn more about this risk to public health and what we can do to mitigate it in this blog post.
