Swimming pool in Mol (Belgium) closed due to cyanobacteria

This weekend, a swimming pool in Mol (Belgium) had to be closed due to the possible presence of blue-green algae or cyanobacteria. This occurrence shows the relevance of some of the research performed at our laboratory. Indeed, these harmful algae, which can both occur in fresh- and saltwater, can not only exercise potential adverse effects in humans, but also in different other ecological species inhabiting these waters.
