Identifying Harmful Blue-Green Algae with Mass Spectroscopy

The large-scale break-outs or blooms of blue-green algae, which is also known as cyanobacteria, presents huge environmental problems. Scientists have developed a new mass spectrometry method that enables the detection of early signs of blue-green algae in water bodies.
