This paper reviews the issues associated with algal–cyanobacterial taste–odour (T&O)
compounds and toxins in the Great Lakes. As with other remediated water bodies, the Great …

Cyanobacteria are the Earth's oldest oxygenic photoautotrophs and have had major impacts
on sha** its biosphere. Their long evolutionary history (∼ 3.5 by) has enabled them to …

Large-scale commercialization of the Haber–Bosch (HB) process is resulting in
intensification of nitrogen (N) fertilizer use worldwide. Globally N fertilizer use is far …

Algal bloom reports are on the rise across Canada. While eutrophication is the main driver,
other stressors of aquatic ecosystems, specifically climate change and food web alterations …

Cyanobacterial toxins are a serious water quality concern in productive water bodies
worldwide. Microcystins (MCs), which are hepatotoxins, are prevalent in Canadian …

Forests form the critical source water areas for downstream drinking water supplies in many
parts of the world, including the Rocky Mountain regions of North America. Large scale …

Cyanobacteria of genus Microcystis sp. have been commonly found in Lake Erie waters
during recent summer seasons. In an effort to elucidate relationships between microcystin …

An important objective in understanding harmful phytoplankton blooms is determining how
environmental factors influence the toxicity of bloom-forming species. We examined how …

Cyanobacteria are found in almost every aquatic ecosystem. Yet their presence does not
automatically pose a risk to public health. Whether or not toxins reach health-relevant …

Global increases in the occurrence of large, severe wildfires in forested watersheds threaten
drinking water supplies and aquatic ecology. Wildfire effects on water quality, particularly …
