🧪 Our peer-reviewed research from Southwest Florida is now published in the scientific journal Toxins!

Calusa Waterkeeper collaborated with Brain Chemistry Labs to document ADAM (Airborne Detection for Algae Monitoring), an innovative monitoring system developed to better understand airborne exposure to harmful algal toxins.

The research documents the first season of ADAM sampling in Southwest Florida, advancing scientists' ability to study how cyanobacterial toxins can become airborne, even at locations without obvious visible blooms nearby.

This publication represents years of collaboration among researchers, staff, and volunteers, and provides an important scientific foundation for future monitoring, research and funding.

Research on Southwest Florida cyanobacterial blooms shows that the toxins they produce are aerosolized and potentially inhaled by people far from contaminated water bodies.
