Drinking water protected by processes at treatment plant, says health unit
Samples taken from Ramsey Lake July 31 are positive for blue-green algae , said Public Health Sudbury & Districts. The samples contained a species of cyanobacteria that can produce toxins.
Blue-green algal blooms could also appear in other parts of the lake. Because blooms are not anchored, they can move from one location to another through wind and water action. New blooms can also form. All residents on lakes should look for blooms in their area. The highest concentrations of toxins are usually found in blooms and scum on the shoreline. These dense accumulations pose the greatest potential risks to people and pets. The algae toxins can irritate a person’s skin and, if ingested, cause diarrhea and vomiting. If a person ingests high levels of toxin, they could suffer liver and nervous system damage.
