Cyanotoxins

Cyanotoxins are toxic chemicals produced by cyanobacteria, a type of bacteria found in both marine and freshwater ecosystems. They can be extremely hazardous to human health, causing acute poisoning and long-term harm depending on the concentration and type of toxin in the water. Cyanotoxins can also damage aquatic ecosystems, killing fish, plants, and other organisms. To reduce the risk of exposure, regular testing of water sources should be carried out to monitor for cyanotoxins.
