Certain Methods to Address Climate Change Could Fuel Algal Blooms
- "Some efforts at reducing carbon emissions could actually increase the risk of water quality impairments, [Carnegie scientists] found. Rainfall and other precipitation wash nutrients from human activities like agriculture into waterways. When waterways get overloaded with nutrients, a dangerous phenomenon called eutrophication can occur, which can sometime lead to toxin-producing algal blooms or low-oxygen dead zones called hypoxia." - Excerpt from Carnegie Science.
