When we think about global warming, we usually blame cars and factories for pumping out those heat-trapping gases. But what if we told you that little algae, the ones you find hanging out in lakes, also have a historical role in this climate tale?

• Some harmful algal blooms (HABs) release toxins, causing illnesses in people, animals, and damaging the environment;
• New research links an algal toxin to neurological problems;
• People with liver disease are more prone to suffering from neurological problems caused by the blooms;
• HABs are more frequent and abundant. Learning which types are harmful and how to avoid contact with them is critical.

In an era where agriculture is essential for sustaining the global population, it’s crucial to examine the unseen threats that farming practices pose to aquatic ecosystems. While modern farming techniques have significantly boosted food production, they have inadvertently introduced risks that could undermin

Algae growth in irrigation water can cause a serious problem. Algae in irrigation tanks can clog the entire irrigation system, such as the pumps, filters, drip-installation and sprinkler nozzles. Besides that the algae and their by-products can also be spread over the irrigated area. In addition, some types of fungi, also present in these waters, can be harmful for the plants grown.

Typical methods to control algae in irrigation can be copper sulphate, chlorine and other chemicals. Th

Recently, LG Sonic introduced the MPC-Lab, an innovative monitoring buoy that can monitor algae, physico-chemical variables, and even nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in near real-time and at different depths in a body of water. Combined with our other monitoring tools, this system offers a unique way to detect the spatial and temporal patterns of nutrient concentrations which play a critical role in algae-related problems in lakes.In combination with a series of physiochemical data,
