Overview of Aerosolized Floridared Tide Toxins : Exposures and Effects: A Reprint from the Journal, Environmental Health Perspectives

Florida red tide (FRT) is caused by Karenia Brevis, a dinoflagellate that periodically blooms, releasing its potent neurotoxin, Brevetoxin, into the surrounding waters & air along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Exposure to FRT toxins has been associated with adverse human health effects & massive fish & marine mammal deaths. The articles in this reprint describe the ongoing interdisciplinary & interagency research program that characterizes the exposures & health effects of aerosolized FRT toxins (Brevetoxins). The ultimate goal is to develop appropriate prevention measures & medical interventions to mitigate or prevent adverse health effects from exposure to complex mixtures of aerosolized FRT toxins.
