An intensification of toxic cyanobacteria blooms has occurred over the last three decades, severely affecting coastal and lake water quality in many parts of the world. Extensive research is being conducted in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the driving forces that alter the ecological balance in water bodies and of the biological role of the secondary metabolites, toxins included, produced by the cyanobacteria. In the long-term, such knowledge may help to develop the needed procedures to restore the phytoplankton community to the pre-toxic blooms era. In the short-term, the mission of the scientific community is to develop novel approaches to mitigate the blooms and thereby restore the ability of affected communities to enjoy coastal and lake waters. Here, we critically review some of the recently proposed, currently leading, and potentially emerging mitigation approaches in-lake novel methodologies and applications relevant to drinking-water treatment.
在过去三十年里,有毒蓝藻水华现象不断加剧,严重影响了世界许多地区的沿海和湖泊水质。目前正在进行广泛研究,试图更好地了解改变水体生态平衡的驱动因素,以及蓝藻产生的次级代谢产物(包括毒素)的生物学作用。从长远来看,这些知识可能有助于制定必要的程序,使浮游植物群落恢复到有毒水华出现之前的时代。在短期内,科学界的任务是开发新方法来减轻水华现象,从而恢复受影响社区享受沿海和湖泊水域的能力。在此,我们批判性地回顾了一些最近提出的、目前领先的以及可能出现的减轻水华的方法——与饮用水处理相关的湖泊新方法和应用。
