Algae blooms are a form of bacteria and can cause skin irritation or respiratory irritation in people who get in the water or handle the algae. Some blooms of blue-green algae can produce chemicals that are toxic to animals and people who drink the untreated water.

Does algae grow faster in dirty water?
Yes, in many cases it leads to algal blooms.
What are inorganic toxic substances sometimes found in water supplies?
salts and lead red tiles fecal coliform bacteria algal blooms
Why do Plants use nitrogen in fertilizer for growth however most of the nitrogen goes unused what is one direct outcome of the excess nitrogen?
Algal Blooms. (APEX)
What is the main ingredient in fertilizers that can cause algae bloom?
The main ingredient in fertilizers that can cause algae blooms is phosphorus. When excess phosphorus enters bodies of water, it can promote the growth of algae, leading to harmful algal blooms. These blooms can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and deplete oxygen levels in the water, negatively impacting fish and other marine life.
How are plant like protists harmful?
Phytoplankton which is a plant like protist can be fatal to animals and other plants. Algal blooms that are dead the bacteria decomposes the algae and uses the oxygen which can suffocate organisms around it.
How can algal blooms be harmful to aquatic life?
because euglenophytes absorb waste and such... they recycle it and so!.. when theres to much waste the euglenophytes make things called "algal blooms" the algal blooms deplete the waters nutruents and oxygen killing algae and other organisms
What causes red tide?
Algal can cause "red tides". Specifically algal blooms.
What environment impact do algal blooms have?
I need this as well
What is one outcome about excess nitrogen?
Nope Algal Blooms
What is one direct outcome of this excess nitrogen?
algal blooms

What occurs during an algal bloom?
algal blooms come with currents of the ocean. they have seasons, or time of year that they actually bloom. algal blooms are known to kill whales while they come up for air, because of the concentration of their "food" getting into their lungs and suffecating them.
What are salt water algal blooms called?
red tides maybe?
What is one direct outcome of excess nitrogen in waterways?
Algal blooms
Which is an effect of eutrophication?
for plato user is b Production of algal blooms
What causes algal bloom?
Algal Blooms are caused by over fertilization, runoff.
How does algal bloom leave to eutropication?
Eutrophication depletes the waters supply of oxygen which causes Algal blooms and the suffocation of marine life.>.
