CEAC takes part in research led by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for an organic and inorganic assessment of rivers, lakes, reservoirs and lagoons, the 5 de Septiembre newspaper reported.

Scientists will assess the cyanobacteria proliferation risk that harm human health, CEAC´s communication department said.
