Microcystin Contamination and Toxicity: Implications for Agriculture and Public Health

2024-01-31

Abstract excerpt

Microcystins are natural hepatotoxic metabolites secreted by cyanobacteria in aquatic ecosystems. When present at elevated concentrations, microcystins can affect water quality aesthetics, contaminate drinking water reservoirs and recreational waters, disrupt normal ecosystem functioning, and cause health hazards to animals, plants, and humans. Animal and human exposures to microcystins generally results from inge...
