| Abstract | Blooms of cyanobacteria (toxic blue-green algae) can produce health and environmental hazards in water, including water used for drinking or recreational purposes. How, why, and when these blooms are produced, as well as how to deal with them, are questions whose answers are vital to the safe-linked to guarding of public health in regions where the algae occur. The blooms are eutrophication of water, and this paper discusses the eutrophication problems, their nature, and their relevance to the production of cyanobacteria. Nutrient limitations on algal productivity are considered, as is the involvement of the atmosphere, the storage of nutrients in soils, and the influence of anthropogenic activity. |
