Abstract
Cyanobacterial blooms, mainly trigged by eutrophic conditions and climate change are one of the utmost significant pollution sources, globally reported across freshwater-to-marine continuum. Cyanobacterial blooms can generate an array of harmful toxins, which may disturb water sources, subsequently posing frightful health threat to living organisms. The paper provides current scenarios and gives insights on the presence of cyanobacteria and blooms proliferation, as well as associated ecological and public health concerns through recurrent exposure. In addition, this paper suggests some measures to ensure toxic blooms minimization. Cyanobacteria have the capability to produce different potent toxins which threatens life. Consuming bloom-impacted drinking water induces hepatocellular carcinoma, gastrointestinal illness, and vomiting and throat irritation. Through the food chain, toxins are transferred to intoxicate other organisms. To protect human and animal life, water safety surveillance, toxins risks assessments, safety policies and guidelines, as well as safe aquaculture farming should be ensured.
