BGSU Study Finds One Reason Why Algae Bloom Caused Toledo Water Crisis

A new study claims to have found one reason why a Lake Erie algae bloom caused Toledo's water crisis in 2014.  Bowling Green State University researchers found a virus was released by the algae cells, causing the toxins to enter the municipal  water supply.  The study finds a strong chance of a similar viral outbreak happening in the future unless more is done to prevent future blooms.  The study has been published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
