Brand new research from the Brain Chemistry Labs in Jackson Hole, Wyoming — in partnership with Calusa Waterkeeper — tested whether these toxins can be aerosolized and travel in the air. The data shows that while very few large-scale cyanobacterial bloom events were observed at sampling locations across Southwest Florida, cyanobacterial and algal toxins were present in low concentrations in the majority of samples. This means Southwest Floridians may be chronically exposed to low concentrations of cyanobacterial toxins.
We dig into this new research and its implications with the study’s lead scientist and someone from Calusa Waterkeeper.
