In 2011, Lake Erie experienced the largest harmful algal bloom in its recorded history, with a peak intensity over three times greater than any previously observed bloom. Here we show that long-term trends agricultural practices are consistent increasing phosphorus loading to western basin of lake, and these trends, coupled meteorological conditions spring produced record-breaking nutrient loads. An extended period weak lake circulation then led abnormally long residence incubated bloom,...
Cylindrospermopsin is a powerful hepatotoxin produced by the cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. It considered potential threat to livestock, wildlife, and humans, suspected cause of an outbreak hepatoenteritis on Palm Island, Queensland, Australia, various stock poisoning incidents around Australia. In this study, stability cylindrospermopsin was investigated using different parameters, including visible UV light, sunlight, temperature pH. decomposes rapidly (half-life 1.5 h)...
Increasing reports of blooms the blue–green alga Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (C. raciborskii), which contains hepatotoxic alkaloid cylindrospermopsin (CYN), have led to public health concerns in Australia. The toxicology CYN appears complex and is still being elucidated. We utilized combination sensitivity specificity afforded by coupling high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) a tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) produce an assay suitable for monitoring low concentrations water...
<i>We conduct a benefit-cost analysis of relicensing agreement for two hydroelectric dams in Michigan. The changed daily conditions from peaking to run-of-river flows. We consider three categories costs and benefits: producer adapting electricity production the new time profile output; benefits reductions air pollution greenhouse gas emissions; improved recreational fishing. best estimates suggest that aggregate are more than twice as large costs. conceptual empirical methods provide...
Abstract The hepatotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) has been isolated from the cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii ( C. raci. ). Efforts to study this toxin have hampered by time‐consuming requirement extract it cultures of organism. It is usually extracted lyophilized cells collected a laboratory culture. Our preliminary work suggested far more available in solution culture media than collected. We therefore investigated use commercially solid phase extraction sorbents CYN which...
Watson is a fully developed suburb of some 30 years in Canberra (the capital city Australia). A plunge dip using arsenical pesticides for tick control was operated there between 1946 and 1960. Chemical investigations revealed that many soil samples obtained from the study area contained levels arsenic exceeding current health-based investigation 100 mg kg–1 set by National Health Medical Research Council Australia. For speciation study, nine composite surface sub-surface soils sample rocks...
