Many chemical contaminants in drinking water have been shown to cause adverse health effects in humans after prolonged exposure. Cyanobacteria are one of the most potent and diverse groups of photosynthetic prokaryotes. One key component of cyanobacterial success in the environment is the production of potent toxins as secondary metabolites, which have been responsible for numerous adverse health impacts in humans. Anthropogenic activities have led to the increase of eutrophication in freshwater bodies' worldwide, causing cyanobacterial blooms to become more frequent. The present article will discuss about harmful cyanobacteria and their toxicology with special references to microcystin, nodularin, and cylindrospermopsin.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part C: Environmental Carcinogenesis and Ecotoxicology Reviews aims at rapid publication of reviews on important subjects in various areas of environmental toxicology, health and carcinogenesis. Among the subjects covered are risk assessments of chemicals including nanomaterials and physical agents of environmental significance, harmful organisms found in the environment and toxic agents they produce, and food and drugs as environmental factors. It includes basic research, methodology, host susceptibility, mechanistic studies, theoretical modeling, environmental and geotechnical engineering, and environmental protection. Submission to this journal is primarily on an invitational basis. All submissions should be made through the Editorial Manager site, and are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Please review the instructions for authors for manuscript submission guidance.
