研究表明,饮用水中的铜绿微囊藻(蓝藻)具有潜在的致癌性和其他对健康的有害影响。蓝藻水华正在成为世界范围内越来越普遍的现象,特别是在城市湖泊和水库。本章的目的是证明之间的潜在关系的饮用水中的蓝藻从瓜拉皮兰加水库和气候变化的大都会地区的圣保罗,以及相关的健康风险因素。所用方法:文献综述和水质和气候参数数据分析。结果如下:巴西圣保罗的Guarapiranga水库负责向该市380万居民供水,当气温上升和多雨天气(夏季)时,蓝藻频繁繁殖。气候变化在城市的圣保罗可以恶化这些问题有关的饮用水一旦理想的气候条件的蓝藻繁殖的频率增加。特别是近20年来,最高气温更高,暴雨更频繁。这种情况可能会放大圣保罗和世界各地与蓝藻有关的公共卫生问题。气候变化可能会增加与土地使用相关的饮用水质量相关的公共健康风险。
Studies indicate the potential carcinogenic and other harmful effects on health of Microcystis aeruginosa (cyanobacteria) in drinking water. Cyanobacteria blooms are becoming an increasingly common phenomenon worldwide, especially in urban lakes and reservoirs. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate the potential relationship between cyanobacteria in the drinking water from the Guarapiranga Reservoir and climate change in the Metropolitan Region of Sao Paulo, as well as health risks factors associated. Methods used: literature review and analysis of data on water quality and climate parameters. Results: The Guarapiranga Reservoir in Sao Paulo-Brazil, accountable for supplying water to 3.8 million inhabitants of this city, has shown frequent cyanobacterial blooms when the temperature rises and in rainy weather (summer). Climate change in the city of Sao Paulo can worsen these problems related to drinking water once the ideal climatic conditions for the proliferation of cyanobacteria are increasing in frequency. Especially in the last 20 years, the maximum temperatures are higher and episodes of heavy rain are more frequent. This scenario can magnify a public health problem related to cyanobacteria in Sao Paulo and around the world. Climate change may increase public health risks related to drinking water quality as associated with land use.
