Algae by itself is relatively harmless. It is natures way of telling you that much more dangerous and harmful pathogens are probably also present in the water.
cause of the algae in your pool! c.s.
harmful algae blooms(HAB) cause the following condition 1- Red tide phenomena(change the usually colour of the sea into green,brown and red )due to pigments that oroduced by this algae 2-this HAB secret toxin this toxin cause damage to central nervous system of fish and caus paralysis to it then die
Yes, the sun can kill algae by exposing it to high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage the algae's cells and inhibit its growth.
Yes. Algae are plants. Fertilizer is plant food.
Algae
No. That is not possible.
The three main components found in fertilizer that can cause algae to grow are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When these nutrients are washed into water bodies, they can stimulate algae growth, leading to excessive algae blooms that can harm aquatic ecosystems.
Green algae that forms in sitting water can produce toxins that are harmful to humans. Ingesting water contaminated with these toxins can cause symptoms such as stomach cramps, diarrhea, and in severe cases, liver damage. It is best to avoid contact and consumption of water with visible green algae.
Massive production of Algae
Too much algae can reduce oxygen in water. This can cause many fish to die.
Algae produce there own food as they have chlorophyll. So they usually do not produce disease. But it is interesting to note that the malaria parasite, which affect hundreds of million people each year, worldwide, has evolved from algae most probably.
it can cause brain damage
