𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐍, 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐍 🌱❤️‍🩹

On April 23, 2026 the Department of Environmental Engineering (DEnE) conducted the 𝑪𝑬𝑻 𝑰𝑯𝑬𝑳𝑷: 𝑨𝒍𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒏, 𝑨𝒍𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒖𝒈𝒂𝒏 seminar at Barangay Luna, Claveria Misamis Oriental. This extension activity is dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and public health. Held in celebration of Earth Day, the event aimed to educate community residents on the vital connection between a healthy environment and overall well-being.

The Department's expertise provided valuable insights into sustainable practices and environmental protection. Their involvement ensured that the information shared was both scientifically grounded and practical for everyday application within the community.

Central to the seminar was the message that caring for the environment is not just a global responsibility but a personal one. 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒓. 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑸. 𝑱𝒐𝒚𝒏𝒐 highlighted how improper waste disposal, pollution, and neglect of natural resources contribute to health risks such as respiratory illnesses, waterborne diseases, and food insecurity. By contrast, maintaining clean surroundings, practicing proper waste segregation, and supporting local environmental programs can significantly improve quality of life.

The Alagang Kalikasan, Alagang Kalusugan initiative emphasized simple yet impactful actions—reducing plastic use, planting trees, conserving water, and keeping communities clean. These efforts, while seemingly small, collectively create a safer and healthier environment for everyone.

As the event concluded, participants left with a renewed sense of responsibility and empowerment. The seminar successfully inspired the community of Barangay Luna to take active roles in safeguarding the environment—proving that when people come together with a shared purpose, meaningful change is possible.

Congratulations to 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐫. 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐋. 𝐀𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐫, 𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐧𝐄, for serving as the lead author of the recently published research article titled “𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑵𝒆𝒖𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒙𝒊𝒏 β-𝑵-𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒚𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒐-𝑳-𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒆 (𝑩𝑴𝑨𝑨) 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝑰𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒔 2,4-𝑫𝒊𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝑨𝒄𝒊𝒅 (𝑫𝑨𝑩) 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒚𝒍𝒈𝒍𝒚𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒆 (𝑨𝑬𝑮) 𝒊𝒏 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓.”

Key highlights of the study reveal that BMAA, DAB, and AEG exhibit relative stability when stored at 4 °C in dark conditions. However, under outdoor exposure, all three toxins were found to degrade completely before the 10th day. The study also indicates that the presence of fulvic and humic acids may enhance the degradation of these cyanotoxins. Additionally, the stability and removal of the toxins are significantly influenced by factors such as sample preservation methods and the composition of the water matrix.
