Climate Change Increases Risk of High Toxin Concentrations in Northern US Lakes

Climate change poses a grave threat to northern US lakes, increasing the risk of high toxin concentrations. The presence of microcystin, a harmful algal toxin, not only endangers health but also impacts fishing and tourism. Extensive research shows that temperature and nutrient concentrations play a crucial role in determining toxin levels. As climate change continues, these toxin hotspots are predicted to shift northwards, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies.
