The University of Michigan has received a $6.5 million federal grant to establish a center for studying the connections between climate change, harmful algal blooms, and human health in the Great Lakes region. Harmful algal blooms, composed of cyanobacteria, are becoming more prevalent due to increased precipitation, stronger storms, and warmer waters. These blooms can produce toxins that are harmful to humans, pets, and wildlife. The center will conduct research projects to assess the occurrence, transport, and effects of aerosolized cyanobacterial toxins on human health, as well as investigate the impact of climate change on the proliferation and toxin production of these blooms. The findings from these studies will inform management strategies and policies to protect drinking water and human health in the Great Lakes region and other areas affected by harmful algal blooms.
