Today, the occurrence of harmful cyanobacterial blooms is a common phenomenon and potential global health problem. Cyanobacteria can produce metabolites highly toxic to humans. More than 80% reservoirs used for water supply in Central Serbia have bloomed over past 80 years. A 10-year epidemiological study showed significant increase incidence primary liver cancer (PLC) regions where from blooming was human consumption. At same time, no correlation found between PLC other risk factors, such...
This review aims to summarise the outcomes of some recent European research concerning toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins, with an emphasis on developments within framework CYANOCOST Action (COST ES1105, Cyanobacterial Blooms Toxins in Water Resources: Occurrence, Impacts Management). State art management capabilities Europe have benefitted from input pure applied life sciences, human animal health sectors, water engineers, economists planners. Many these professional groups been brought...
Surface water, often used for irrigation purposes, may sometimes be contaminated with blooming cyanobacteria and thereby contain their potent harmful toxins. Cyanotoxins adversely affect many terrestrial plants, accumulate in plant tissues that are subsequently ingested by humans. Studies were undertaken to (1) examine the bioaccumulation of microcystins (MCs) leaves fruits pepper Capsicum annuum (2) potential effects MCs on antioxidant capacity these organs. Plants irrigated water...
Cyanobacterial blooms and toxins (cyanotoxins) in both natural controlled waterbodies are of worldwide concern. This paper presents a review 130 years research on the biodiversity, occurrence toxicity cyanobacteria throughout Serbia, as well their effects water quality human health. Data particular cyanotoxins over more recent also collated. from 70 sources, including articles, project reports, conference abstracts, dissertations, books, annual news reports summarized. survey provides...
Harmful cyanobacteria and their toxic metabolites constitute a big challenge for the production of safe drinking water. Microcystins (MC), chemically stable hepatotoxic heptapeptides, have often been involved in cyanobacterial poisoning incidents. A desirable solution management lakes ponds would eliminate both excess MC that they potentially produce release upon lysis. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has recently advocated as an efficient means lysing ponds, however H2O2 (at least when used at...
Abstract Cyanobacteria are important members of lake plankton, but they have the ability to form blooms and produce cyanotoxins thus cause a number adverse effects. Freshwater ecosystems around world been investigated for distribution cyanobacteria their toxins effects on ecosystems. Similar research was performed Fehérvárcsurgó reservoir in Hungary during 2018. were present blooming, highest abundance recorded July (2,822,000 cells/mL). The species Aphanizomenon flos-aquae , Microcystis...
The Primary Liver Carcinoma (PLC) is one of the most common malignant diseases in world. In Central Serbia during period from 2000 to 2006 average incidence was 16.9/100 000 that complies European epidemiology. main risk factors for PLC are considered be cirrhosis liver and viral chronic Hepatitis B C. goal this research analyze epidemiological data these state correlation between PLC, C Serbia. During 6 years correlations corresponding were negative. For reason it necessary examine other...
<p>The presence of toxic cyanobacteria in aquatic ecosystems the territory Republic Serbia was surveyed over a period several decades. Increasing attention is being paid to some negative consequences that may be caused by these microorganisms. Information from available literary sources regarding distribution and frequency their toxins 130 years, together with effects on humans wildlife ecosystems, were gathered incorporated into Serbian Cyanobacterial Database created for CYANOCOST...
For 50 years persistent cyanobacterial blooms have been observed in Lake Ludoš (Serbia), a wetland area of international significance listed as Ramsar site. Cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins can affect many organisms, including valuable flora fauna, such rare endangered bird species living or visiting the lake. The aim was to carry out monitoring, estimate current status lake, discuss potential resolutions. Results obtained showed: (a) poor chemical state lake; (b) presence potentially toxic...
Abstract Cyanobacteria are ancient photosynthetic microorganisms that shaped today's atmosphere. Anthropocentric and irresponsible activities changing the atmosphere which favor frequent occurrence mass development of cyanobacteria. Extensive cyanobacterial blooming causes numerous problems, including negative effects on human skin. Climate change, depletion ozone layer, increased ultraviolet radiation also affect skin lead to more cancer. This research, for first time, attempts establish a...
Lake Balaton is the largest shallow lake in Central Europe. Its water quality affected by its biggest inflow, Zala River. During late 20th century, a wetland area named Kis-Balaton Water Protection System (KBWPS) was constructed hopes that it would act as filter zone and thus ameliorate of Balaton. The aim present study to test whether KBWPS effectively safeguards against toxic cyanobacterial blooms. April, May, July September 2018, severe blooming observed with numbers reaching up 13...
Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, mainly as a result of eutrofication and water quality deterioration. The most common cyanotoxins cyclic peptide hepatotoxins called microcystins. represent potential health risk for humans when occurring in freshwaters used drinking supply, recreation irrigation. In Serbia there is problem with cyanobacterial blooms production the surface freshwaters. order to restore quality, various techniques methods treatment procedures...
