Cyanotoxins pose great risk to human health, livestock, aquatic
flora and fauna. The green mat formed on water by the bloom forming
cyanobacteria is ubiquitous, but not everyone knows the ground
reality behind these blooms. There is wide range of toxins secreted
by bloom forming cyanobacteria. The cyanobacterial toxins are
hepatotoxic, neurotoxic, dermatotoxic and some toxins have
significant potential for stimulating tumour growth. These harmful
toxins are stored in the cells and soon are released in water after
the cells rupture. This is an area where our knowledge is so
limited and so much remains to be explored. This book gives insight
of the various aspects associated with cyanotoxins. Environmental
pollution stimulates the formation of harmful algal blooms
resulting in production of toxic cyanotoxins, so it needs to be
controlled. Awareness among people is to be aroused regarding the
fatal effects of these cyanotoxins. Understanding cyanotoxins and
proper management of water resources will result in safe water
sources for consumption as well as recreation.
