  • This toxin affects the nervous system if consumed, causing severe illness in humans and possibly even death in dogs and other wildlife.

  • The largest cause of these algal blooms is an excess of nutrients (particularly phosphorus and nitrogen) in the water. 
    • This is mostly due to runoff of synthetic fertilizers from sources such as lawns and farms. 
      • High rainfall also facilitates this runoff into rivers, streams, and ponds, so algal blooms are also seen in years with more rainfall.
  • Increasing temperatures due to climate change are one major cause of these toxic algal blooms.
Because the algae are photosynthetic, more sunlight also increases algal blooms, as well as slow-moving water.

  • As more algae and plants grow, others die, creating a lot of dead organic matter to be decomposed by bacteria. 
  • This causes bacteria to increase in number and use up all the oxygen in the water. 
    • Thus many fish and other aquatic organisms cannot survive, killing off all of these organisms.
