environmental burden of disease from municipal solid waste incinerator

Algae in water resources are of great interest to researchers due to their adverse effects on water quality and treatment processes 1. excessive nutrients, especially nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) in surface water sources, which can be caused by agricultural activities and discharge of industrial and municipal wastewater, can cause algae growth in water resources 2. growth of algae in water resources is important not only for the environment but also for its impact on human health 3. the most important problems caused by algae growth in water resources include taste and odor in water, depletion of water dissolved oxygen (do), loss of aquatic organisms and turbidity 4. various studies have also shown that algae can release a variety of neurotoxin toxins in aquatic sources. these toxins can affect the nervous system and can also be a risk factor for various cancers such as liver cancer 5.
