Abstract:

Harmful algae blooms often occur in China’s third largest lake, Taihu. According to marine biologist Hans Paerl, nutrient-rich sewage from wastewater plants and pollution from factories are the main culprits. Paerl is working with Chinese scientists to recommend pollution controls that could help restore water quality in the lake.
