thestar.com Water at a Toledo, Ohio, treatment plant has tested positive for microcystin, a toxin known to cause liver and kidney damage, leaving thousands of Ohio residents without water and prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency Saturday. This was something predicted by the EPA , but this is the first I've really thought of this sort of situation happening. I guess I can credit the Canadian government's policy of muzzling its scientists on the effects of climate change. Are Canadian communities at risk to this sort of development? I know my community's local lake was subjected to a harmless algal bloom, recently, but was this something that can change over time? Questions, and no answers.
