IMPACT OF BIOTOXINS ON HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE Impact of biotoxins on health and lifestyle The Topic The impact of biotoxins on human health and lifestyle constitutes an area of research with a significant study gap, and this makes it crucial as a topic for the final presentation. Biotoxins entail toxin substances with biological origin and may include microbial toxins, fungal biotoxins, animal biotoxins, and plant biotoxins. The study the impact of various biotoxins on human health and lifestyle is important considering the current trend in cases of health issues attributed to biotoxins in food substances especially seafoods. Studies have shown that many marine microalgae produce harmful toxins considered to cause immense damage to human health thereby leading to the alteration of normal lifestyle in affected regions owing to the negative effect the Harmful Algae Blooms (HABS) have on costal resources and aquatic ecosystems as well. This study resonates with technological advancements in Biotechnology, which have made it easier to create programs aimed at monitoring marine biotoxins to help minimize intoxication risks from consuming seafoods. Type of Presentation The presentation will be done through a PowerPoint Slideshow. It will involve summarizing the key points of the research and presenting them to the audience. With the help of visual aims, the slideshow will be captivating in terms of theme, graphics, and wordings. Each slide will be a presentation of a topic or subtopic. Speaker’s notes will be included to aid in explaining what is being presented on each slide. IMPACT OF BIOTOXINS ON HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE 2 Preliminary Outline Topic The topic is the impact of biotoxins on health and lifestyle. It involves studying various biotoxins and determining how each affects human health due to toxicity. With the health of people being at risk due to biotoxins, their lifestyles would be affected financially, socially, and in other ways. History of the Topic The impact of biotoxins on human health and lifestyle has been a subject of study since the first toxins with biological origin were discovered by Dr. Yoshizumi Tahara in 1909. He discovered biotoxins in the ovaries of a globefish. Since then, concerns have been raised over seafoods that later became know for containing biotoxins harmful to human health. Cultural Comparison In the United States, the major concern with biotoxins is the associated health risks due to possible food poisoning and health concerns. However, in countries where fishing is among the leading industries like Portugal, the key concerns are related to the economic challenges associated with the increasing safety measures imposed on marine foods and other related products. Relevant Policies A relevant policy related to the topic is the safety regulation on protected Mediterranean marine environment. This policy regulates marine foods from the Mediterranean Sea because its shallow waters are known to contain high amounts of biotoxins in the marine life. The other policy is on food safety risk assessments imposed through EU food regulations. IMPACT OF BIOTOXINS ON HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE Future trends The impact of biotoxins on human health and lifestyle is a topic that attracts many researchers. Biotoxins are always increasing following and increasing trend in the prevalence of HABS. Since, new biotoxins are increasingly being discovered in places they never existed before, intensive research would be required in future to study their prevalence. 3 Preliminary Outline Topic The topic is the impact of biotoxins on health and lifestyle.

Accordingly, emerging new biotoxins are increasingly being discovered in places they never existed before. According to these Portuguese authors, the increasing spread of harmful algae blooms is bringing about economic sustainability challenges, particularly when it comes to the production of seafood and other marine products. As the issue of consumer safety seemingly continues to worsen, the economic burden to the producers of seafoods increased. The cost of production increases respectively as more production areas are being closed. IMPACT OF BIOTOXINS ON HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE The study thus recommends an increased investment in the knowledge on biotoxins in the context of marine organisms and marine environments. A viable solution to the problem can best be attained through collaborative effort by various professionals who are able to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to improve the safety of seafood like shellfish and other marine fish products. .
