28 July 2011

The presence of Algae Bloom was observed by North Tipperary County Council on Lough Derg in recent days. Blue green algae can produce harmful toxins. Such toxins have been known to be harmful to animals that drink the water and skin rashes have occurred in humans following contact. The bloom is most easily recognised when it forms a bright pea-green paint like scum on or close to the shoreline. Notices are in place at various locations around Lough Derg informing the public of the algal blooms. The public are advised to please exercise caution

The Environment Section of North Tipperary County Council may be contacted if there are any queries on the matter at 067-44786.
