Residents Bluffdale (Utah, USA) expressed concern about the unusual clumps of bright green slime coming out of the sewage of the town.
First, the power of Bluffdale decided that prepodobna substance emerged from the flowering of toxic algae in Utah lake and consequently represents a danger to residents. However, caused from the state capital biologists have found that the clots of foam went down the drain after cleansing adjacent channels of moss — a blend of chemical cleaning agents and remains of plants turned into bright green foam.
Currently, Utah lake is almost all covered with blue-green algae, which penetrate and neighboring rivers. These organisms produce toxins, affecting the brain, Central nervous system and human liver. Large blooms caused by high temperature, shallow depth and high concentration of phosphorus is a substance that increases the growth of algae out into the lake from wastewater treatment facilities.
Although algal blooms is a natural phenomenon and occurs frequently, human civilization has increased its frequency and scope. To make Utah lake a safe, you need at least to carry out costly restructuring of wastewater treatment plants (to reduce emissions of phosphorus).
