Die Ross Island Lagune im Willamette River leidet derzeit unter einem massiven Algenproblem. Nach Angaben von Experten hat sich eine große Menge an Blaualgen in dem Gewässer angesammelt, was zu gesundheitlichen Risiken für Mensch und Tier führen kann.

Die Blaualgen produzieren Toxine, die Hautreizungen, Übelkeit und Erbrechen verursachen können. Besonders Kinder und Haustiere sind gefährdet, da sie das kontaminierte Wasser leichter aufnehmen können.

Die Umweltschutzbehörden arbeiten derzeit daran, das Problem zu lösen und die Algenblüte zu kontrollieren. In der Zwischenzeit empfehlen sie den Bürgern, den direkten Kontakt mit dem Wasser zu vermeiden und Haustiere von der Lagune fernzuhalten.

Es bleibt also abzuwarten, wie schnell die Behörden das Algenproblem in der Ross Island Lagune in den Griff bekommen können, um die Gesundheit der Bewohner im Bereich des Willamette River zu schützen.
