Harmful algae blooms on the Columbia River have led to health warnings due to toxic cyanobacteria.
A harmful algae bloom has prompted health warnings along parts of the Columbia River, urging people and pets to avoid contact with the water.
Authorities report elevated levels of cyanobacteria, which can produce toxins affecting humans and animals.
The advisory covers several stretches of the river, with signs posted at access points.
Officials recommend staying out of the water, not drinking untreated river water, and rinsing off if exposed.
The bloom is linked to warm temperatures and nutrient runoff, and conditions may persist into the fall.
