Dual nitrogen and phosphorus reductions are needed for long-term mitigation of eutrophication and harmful cyanobacterial blooms in the hydrologically-variable San Francisco Bay Delta, CA.

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are a major concern for water quality, public health and viability of aquatic ecosystems. Increased inputs of nutrients, i.e.

Managing a cyanobacteria harmful algae bloom "hotspot" in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta, California.

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) have become a persistent seasonal problem in the upper San Francisco Estuary, California also known as the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta). The Delta is comprised of a complex network of open water bodies, channels, and sloughs. The terminus of the Stockton Channel is an area identified as a CHAB "hotspot.

Harmful cyanobacterial aerosolization dynamics in the airshed of a eutrophic estuary.

In addition to obvious negative effects on water quality in eutrophic aquatic ecosystems, recent work suggests that cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) also impact air quality via emissions carrying cyanobacterial cells and cyanotoxins. However, the environmental controls on CHAB-derived aerosol and its potential public health impacts remain largely unknown. Accordingly, the aims of this study were to 1) investigate the occurrence of microcystins (MC) and putatively toxic cyanobacterial communities in particulate matter ≤ 2.

Roles of Nutrient Limitation on Western Lake Erie CyanoHAB Toxin Production.

Cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (CyanoHAB) proliferation is a global problem impacting ecosystem and human health. Western Lake Erie (WLE) typically endures two highly toxic CyanoHABs during summer: a spp. bloom in Maumee Bay that extends throughout the western basin, and a spp.

Toxic Cyanobacteria: A Growing Threat to Water and Air Quality.

The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites known as cyanotoxins. Human exposure to cyanotoxins is challenging to forecast, and perhaps the least understood exposure route is via inhalation.
