Harmful algal blooms: a Malaysian scenario

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are worldwide problems. It is defined as proliferation of algae under certain environmental condition. The algae produce toxin that can be transmitted to human through many different ways. This leads to a lot of negative impacts to human health including mortalities. Howe...
