Blue Green Algae: A Guide (Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality Treatment)
http://www.waterquality.crc.org.au/dwfacts/dwfact_algae.pdf
Cyanobacteria, commonly called blue-green algae, bloom in water that is still, warm, and nutrient rich. They release toxins that damage the liver, stop breathing, raise cancer risk, and produce rashes, allergic reactions, eye irritation, and gastroenteritis. These toxins, which are invisible, can remain for weeks after a bloom and are not destroyed by boiling. The largest recorded river bloom occurred in 1991, which covered almost 1000 km of the Barwon and Darling rivers.
