Agricultural, urban and industrial activities have dramatically increased aquatic nitrogen and
phosphorus pollution (eutrophication), threatening water quality and biotic integrity from …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (cHABs) have significant socioeconomic and ecological
costs, which impact drinking water, fisheries, agriculture, tourism, real estate, water quality …

Toxin production by harmful cyanobacteria blooms (CyanoHABs) constitutes a major,
worldwide environmental threat to freshwater aquatic resources that is expected to expand …

Cyanotoxins have gained global public interest due to their potential to bioaccumulate in
food, which threatens human health. Bloom formation is usually enhanced under …

This report presents the extensive literature search conducted on 1) the occurrence of
different cyanotoxins in food matrices; 2) the analytical methods for their detection; 3) their …

Abstract The Laurentian Great Lakes are among the most prominent sources of fresh water
in the world. Lake Erie's infamous cyanobacterial blooms have, however, threatened the …

Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria that act as hepatotoxins
in higher organisms. These toxins can be altered through abiotic processes, such as …

The effects of global warming are not limited to rising global temperatures and have set in
motion a complex chain of events contributing to climate change. A consequence of global …

Over the past two decades there has been a re-emergence of regular harmful algal blooms
in Lake Erie due to increasing phosphorus loading, mainly from non-point agricultural …

Studies concerning the toxicity of pollutant-loaded nanoplastics (NPs) toward humans are
still in their infancy. Here, we evaluated the adsorption of microcystins (MCs) by pristine and …
