Harmful Algal Blooms & Cyanobacteria Webinar
Most species of algae are not harmful, but sometimes certain types bloom in excessive amounts and can cause harm to human and pet health, aquatic ecosystems, and local economies. These harmful algal blooms (HABs), usually associated with algae that produce toxins, cause problems across the Nation. The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) is hosting a webinar, in partnership with EPA and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), featuring three presentations with varying perspectives on Harmful Algal Blooms.
Presenters include:
Nicholas Dugan, an environmental engineer who will provide an overview of algal blooms.
Brian Boling, lab director from Oregon's Department of Dnvironmental Quality
Andrew Reich, Scientific Adviser to the Chief of the Bureau of Environmental Health at Florida Department of Health
