Domain-specific¶
- Harmful Algal Bloom
- Decades of phosphorus loading from the Maumee River watershed — largely agricultural runoff — raised the basin's carrying capacity, and in a warm, stratified summer the cyanobacterium Microcystis escaped its controls and bloomed into a thick surface scum. Microcystis produces microcystin, a hepatotoxin; when the bloom concentrated over Toledo's water intake, microcystin levels exceeded safe thresholds and the city ordered roughly half a million people not to drink or boil their tap water for two days

“The production of toxins by bloom-forming cyanobacteria can lead to drinking water crises, such as the one experienced by the city of Toledo in August of 2014, when the city was rendered without drinking water for >2 days.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
