Hardly the only place in Ohio with toxins in the water.
Ohio is quite a beautiful state that is being ruined by greedy, selfish people.
In one place there is a toxic waste incinerator right on a river with a smokestack level with an elementary school that sits on a nearby hill.
I understand some people buy land in oh, any old place, then make it a landfill with out of state garbage containing who knows what. A junior high school sits atop one such landfill.
Also a chemical called Myrex was dumped in a state park and contaminated the streams and of course the streams later turn to rivers.
The oldest nuclear power plant in America is in Pennsylvania, but just a few miles upriver from Ohio. More than a few stories about it.
So this is being caused by algae? Yeah. Right.

Or its also possibly a long distance effect caused by fracking? The first and utmost concern for the world is drinkable water.

A crumbling infrastructure to add to the abuse of the environment for profit maybe.

A toxin "possibly" from algae?? It's possible but If that were the case, it could have already been proven through simple water testing. Is it an organic toxin or chemical toxin? That would be a start, how come they still haven't shown any results from taken water samples?
