Article Synopsis
  • There have been significant increases in sargassum seaweed strandings along Caribbean coastlines since 2011, prompting a study on health impacts from its decomposition.
  • The study analyzed 154 patients from 2018 who reported health issues linked to decomposing sargassum, with common symptoms including neurological (80%), digestive (77%), and respiratory (69%) disorders, highlighting the geographical correlation with sargassum strandings.
  • Findings suggest that toxic exposure from sargassum is similar to hydrogen sulfide exposure, with affected areas potentially experiencing ambient hydrogen sulfide levels exceeding 5 ppm for about 50 days a year.
