According to UN data, water and climate-related events have accounted for half of the human and economic damage caused by disasters over the last fifty years. Figures show that, during this period, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 45% of recorded deaths (1.3 million people) and 74% of global economic losses. World Meteorological Organization studies have also put droughts, storms ...

While we experience terrible drought and flooding events due to climate change, another significant hazard is hidden beneath the surface. The fragile state of the world’s freshwater. In his opinion article for the World Economic Forum, LG Sonic CEO Yousef Yousef shares his concerns on the nitrogen and phosphorous accumulations in lakes. This, in turn, is triggering Harmful Algal Blooms ...

In aerobic environments, ammonia from agricultural pollution, sewage, decaying protein and other nitrogen pollution sources becomes successively oxidised (nitrified) to nitrite (NO2–) and then to nitrate (NO3–). Nitrate, is of course, a recognised environmental issue due to its role in eutrophication and groundwater contamination. But what about the environmental impact of ...

Algal blooms have been hitting the headlines with alarming regularity over recent years. The reason for this is simple: their effects can be devastating. The Florida bloom is proving damaging in the US, with reports of fish kills along the coast, and residents forced to evacuate. However, you may not know that algae blooms are occurring all over the US and spreading across its borders. They are ...

Abstract : The development of massive blooms of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) in eutrophicated fresh and salt waters is an actual problem in many countries. Moreover, many strains of cyanobacteria produce toxins with a specific mode of action, the most studied being hepatotoxins (such as e.g. microcystin) and neurotoxins (e.g. anatoxin-a). Toxicity testing of crude extracts of cyanobacterial ...
