Exploring More Natural Solutions To The Algae Bloom Threat

Harmful algae blooms continue to emerge as a greater threat to water resources, but the traditional use of chemicals in treatment can present its own problems. Chemicals break the cells of the algae, releasing their toxins into the water table. An alternative technology, ultrasound, applies pressure to cut the cell off from its sunlight energy source and kill it more naturally. In this Water Talk interview, Greg Eiffert, director of LG Sonic U.S., discusses how ultrasound treatment can address the harmful algae bloom problem while promoting a more positive impact on the ecosystem. LG Sonic opened its U.S. office last fall.
