Greenhouse gases (GHGs) have long received public attention because they affect the
Earth's climate by producing the greenhouse effect. Freshwaters are an important source of …

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous microorganisms considered as important contributors to the
formation of Earth's atmosphere and nitrogen fixation. However, they are also frequently …

Background: Anthropogenic global warming, interacting with social and other environmental
determinants, constitutes a profound health risk. This paper reports a comprehensive …

Cyanobacteria are ecologically one of the most prolific groups of phototrophic prokaryotes in
both marine and freshwater habitats. Both the beneficial and detrimental aspects of …

The monocyclic heptapeptides microcystins (MCs), are a group of hepatotoxins, produced
worldwide by some bloom-forming cyanobacterial species/strains both in marine and …

Macrophytes are an important part of freshwater ecosystems and they have direct and
indirect roles in keeping the water clear and providing structure and habitats for other …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater bodies are mainly
attributed to excess loading of nutrients [nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)]. This study …

Cyanobacterial blooms produce nuisance metabolites (eg, cyanotoxins and T&O
compounds) thereby posing water quality management issues for aquatic sources used for …

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 …
