The Red Tide The Red is a algae bloom that releases toxins into the ocean and releases horrid smells that can leave you with respiratory problems like hacking horribly, minor cough , or asthma in worse cases. The algae bloom releases toxins when its in a high concentrated state into the ocean that the shellfish take in but they don’t die. Instead they concentrate all of it into their body’s in a small space and if a human eats the shellfish the human has a huge chance of dying because of the toxin
Eutrophication is the reaction resulting from the addition of harmful substances to aquatic ecosystems. Eutrophication causes decreased biodiversity, changes in species composition and dominance dissolved oxygen depletion and problems in water treatments. Eutrophication is currently happening to many of the Canadian Lakes including Lake Winnipeg. Since 1969, it has been observed that Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) has been the reason for the 90% hike in the algal blooms.Cyanobacteria causes a smelly
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) Cyanobacteria, also known as Blue-green algae, (Cyanophyta), (Myxophyta) and (Cyanochloronta) are difficult to classify, and there are numerous schools of thought on their Taxonomy. Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms however posess many of the same qualities as algae and therefore were previously categorized as such, hence the name blue-green algae. They form a class greatly dissimilar from that of other algae, and possess many of the same characteristics of
A water filter is a device which is utilised in order to remove debris from water by making use of a fine physcial barrier, chemical process and/or using a biological process. These filters are mainly used to clean water in order for it to be used for irritation, aquariums, swimming pools and of course, drinking water. With water purification all contaminants are removed from raw water sources. The water is produced for a specific reason with a treatment profile to limit the inclusion of specific
