蓝藻是什么回事？为什么会影响太湖水质？

无锡太湖水质受到蓝藻污染,我们喝

蓝藻中有些种类（如微囊藻）会产生毒素（简称MC），大约50%的绿潮中含有大量MC。MC除了直接对鱼类、人畜产生毒害之外，也是肝癌的重要诱因。MC耐热，不易被沸水分解，但可被活性碳吸收，所以可以用活性碳净水器对被污染水源进行净化。 蓝藻在国外评述 Cyanobacteria is the scientific name for blue-green algae（蓝藻学名为蓝毒素）Cyanobacterial toxins are the naturally produced poisons stored in the cells of certain species of cyanoba...全部

  蓝藻中有些种类（如微囊藻）会产生毒素（简称MC），大约50%的绿潮中含有大量MC。MC除了直接对鱼类、人畜产生毒害之外，也是肝癌的重要诱因。MC耐热，不易被沸水分解，但可被活性碳吸收，所以可以用活性碳净水器对被污染水源进行净化。
   蓝藻在国外评述 Cyanobacteria is the scientific name for blue-green algae（蓝藻学名为蓝毒素）Cyanobacterial toxins are the naturally produced poisons stored in the cells of certain species of cyanobacteria。
   （在蓝藻内部的特定区域存有蓝毒素）These toxins fall into various categories。 Some are known to attack the liver (hepatotoxins) or the nervous system (neurotoxins); others simply irritate the skin。
   These toxins are usually released into water when the cells rupture or die。（Although many people have become ill from exposure to freshwater cyanobacterial toxins, death from algal-contaminated drinking water is unlikely to occur given that water resources are usually effectively managed to control taste, odour and other algae-related problems。
   It's possible that extended exposure to low levels of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins could have long-term or chronic effects in humans。
  （蓝毒素内的毒素分为很多种，其中一个分类为肝毒素和神经毒素，它们是已知的会侵袭肝脏和神经的毒素，另一个分类的毒素对皮肤有刺激作用，当蓝毒素细胞破裂或死亡时，以上分类的毒素就会被释放到水中）Although many people have become ill from exposure to freshwater cyanobacterial toxins, death from algal-contaminated drinking water is unlikely to occur given that water resources are usually effectively managed to control taste, odour and other algae-related problems。
   It's possible that extended exposure to low levels of cyanobacterial hepatotoxins could have long-term or chronic effects in humans。
  （当暴露在含有蓝藻毒素的湖水中，虽然一部门人会生病，但是饮用含有受污染藻类的水却未必会导致死亡。长期地暴露在含有蓝藻肝毒素的水中，即使含量较低，也有可能对人体产生长期的或慢性的不利影响）If you ingest water, fish or blue-green algal products containing elevated levels of toxins, you may experience headaches, fever, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting。
   If you swim in contaminated water, you may get itchy and irritated eyes and skin, as well as other hay fever-like allergic reactions。
   If you suspect you might have come into contact with cyanobacterial toxins and are experiencing any of these symptoms, rinse any scum off your body and consult your physician immediately。
  （如果你不断的摄入含有蓝藻的水，鱼或者其他水产品，就可能会产生头痛，发烧，腹泻，腹痛，反胃或者呕吐。如果你在受污染的水中游泳，也有可能会产生皮肤发痒或者眼睛\皮肤受到刺激，如果你怀疑直接接触到了污染水源并且身体发生了不良反应，用干净水冲洗身体并立即联系医生）Boiling water does not remove toxins from the water。
   As it is impossible to detect the presence of toxins in the water by taste, odour or appearance, you must assume that they are present until testing is completed。
  （煮沸的水不会去除蓝藻中的毒素，因为你不可能凭借水的外表，气味或者味道去检测毒素的存在，只有化学测试才可以）If there is a safe source of water available, don't use contaminated water for washing clothes or dishes。
   If no alternative supply is available, use rubber gloves to avoid direct contact with the water。
   Bathing or showering in contaminated water should be avoided, as skin contact with the algae can lead to skin irritation and rashes。
  （如果条件允许，不要使用受污染水洗衣服和餐具，如果实在没有其他水源，做家务要用水时必须戴上橡胶手套，使用受污染水洗澡应该避免，因为皮肤直接接触水会造成皮肤刺激和皮疹） 。收起
