The chemical substance associated with the name "Algae bloom standard, Algae bloom toxin, Biotoxin, Cyanobacterial toxin" and CAS number 154037-70-4 is primarily linked to toxins produced by cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae. These toxins, such as microcystins and nodularins, are secondary metabolites that can pose significant risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. They are characterized by their cyclic peptide structure, which contributes to their stability and toxicity. These biotoxins can lead to harmful algal blooms (HABs), resulting in water quality degradation and adverse effects on aquatic life, including fish kills and the disruption of food webs. In humans and animals, exposure can occur through contaminated water or seafood, leading to symptoms ranging from gastrointestinal distress to severe liver damage. Monitoring and regulation of these toxins are crucial for public health and environmental safety, particularly in freshwater bodies where blooms are prevalent.
