This Florida Department of Health web site is part of the Aquatic Toxins Program to protect Florida's citizens and visitors from exposure and illness from Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). The site summarizes health concerns associated with Cyanobacteria blooms, as well as their threat to water quality, ecosystem stability, and surface drinking water supplies. Links are provided to the PDF monograph "Health Effects of Exposure to Cyanobacteria Toxins: State of the Science" which consists of three panels: Harmful Algal Blooms in Florida, National and International Perspective, and Agency Activities.
