      <title>Scientists are learning just how complicated it will be to reduce toxic blooms in Lake Erie</title>

      <title>Toxins from cyanobacterial blooms can be airborne, but the threat to public health is unclear</title>

      <description>Researchers are studying how much of cyanobacterial toxins become airborne. They say breathing in the toxins is much worse than ingesting them.</description>
