上卡斯泰克湖发布禁触水警示：有害藻华疑含毒素，划船与下水活动全面暂停
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县公园与休闲局10月29日发布警示：位于洛杉矶县北部卡斯泰克一带的上卡斯泰克湖（Upper Castaic Lake）出现有害藻华，水中疑似含有毒素，公众应避免一切与湖水的接触。
警示期间，湖上所有休闲船艇活动全面暂停，包括风帆冲浪与个人水上摩托艇在内的船艇均不得下水；居民不要食用湖中捕捞的鱼类与贝类，也不要饮用湖水。县府特别提醒，煮沸或过滤都无法让受藻类毒素污染的水变得安全。
据县府说明，人接触受污染的水可能出现皮肤疹、眼睛刺激、腹泻与呕吐等症状；动物一旦饮用或下水，后果更为严重，可能抽搐甚至死亡，宠物主人应让宠物远离湖岸。藻华的进一步信息可查询州水质监测网站 mywaterquality.ca.gov/habs。
No-Water-Contact Advisory at Upper Castaic Lake: Harmful Algae Believed to Contain Toxins
The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation, in California, issued an advisory on October 29 for Upper Castaic Lake, near the community of Castaic in northern Los Angeles County: a harmful algal bloom is present and is believed to contain toxins, and the public should avoid all contact with the water.
During the advisory, all recreational boating on the lake is prohibited, including windsurfing and personal watercraft. Residents should not eat fish or shellfish taken from the lake or drink its water. The county stresses that boiling or filtering does not make water contaminated with algal toxins safe.
Officials said human contact with the water can cause skin rash, eye irritation, diarrhea and vomiting, while animals that drink or enter the water face more severe outcomes, including seizures and death, and pet owners should keep animals away from the shoreline.
