Search clinical trials by condition, location and status
The purpose of this study is to compare the frequency of symptoms, exposure and health impacts in persons living in areas where they are exposed to bloom and non-bloom periods of cyanobacteria and red tide in Florida.
The goals of this project are to study the biological effects of environmental toxins (ET), in particular aquatic toxins such as brevetoxins (PbTx) and microcystin or their metabolites. This study is designed to examine the effects of the body from harmful algae blooms (HAB) as well as possibility of an association between exposure to the marine toxin, brevetoxin (PbTx), which is released from K. brevis during the red tide bloom, and the prevalence of neurological illnesses.
