TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Harmful algal bloom-associated marine toxins: a risk assessment framework JO - Archives of environmental and occupational health A1 - Krahl, Pamela L. SP - 129 EP - 134 VL - 64 IS - 2 N2 - Marine toxins produced by harmful algal blooms (HABs) present a health risk to humans, but the extent of that risk remains unquantified. Increases in bloom frequency and geographic distribution present a potential for increased human exposure to these toxins, raising concerns among HAB researchers regarding an emerging public health problem. A risk assessment framework is presented with 2 objectives: (1) to provide a road map for integration and coordination of health-related research efforts and (2) to provide an overview of this complex problem to possible collaborators.
