Blue-green algae blooms can release harmful toxins into the air

Washington DC (UPI) Apr 2, 2021
For the first time, scientists have observed the release of blue-green algae toxins into the air. Traces of the algal toxin anatoxin-a, or ATX, sometimes called the Very Fast Death Factor, were measured at a Massachusetts pond that frequently hosts large algal blooms. Scientists reported the discovery in a new paper, published Friday in the journal Lake and Reservoir Management.
