Cyanobacteria have adapted to survive in a variety of environments and have been found globally. Toxin-producing cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) have been increasing in frequency worldwide and pose a threat to drinking and recreational water. In this study, the prevalence, impact of CHABs and mitigation efforts were reviewed, focusing on the Lake Erie region and Ohio's inland lakes that have been impacted heavily as an example so that the findings can be transferrable to other parts of the world that face the similar problems due to the CHABs in their freshwater environments. This paper provides a basic introduction to CHABs and their toxins as well as an overview of public health implications including exposure routes, health effects, and drinking water issues, algal bloom advisory practices in Ohio, toxin measurements results in Ohio public water supplies, and mitigation efforts.
蓝藻已经适应了在各种环境中生存，并且在全球范围内都有发现。产毒蓝藻有害藻华（CHAB）的频率在全球范围内不断增加，对饮用水和娱乐用水构成了威胁。本研究回顾了 CHAB 的流行情况、影响和缓解措施，重点关注伊利湖地区和俄亥俄州内陆湖泊，这些地区受到了严重影响，以便将研究结果推广到世界其他地区，因为这些地区的淡水环境中也存在类似的 CHAB 问题。本文提供了 CHAB 及其毒素的基本介绍，以及公共卫生影响的概述，包括暴露途径、健康影响和饮用水问题、俄亥俄州的藻类大量繁殖咨询实践、俄亥俄州公共供水的毒素测量结果以及缓解措施。
