Solution:

Algal blooms are considered as pollutants of water, as they have very damaging effects on flora and fauna of that water body. They mostly consist of green algae and blue-green algae. The colour imparted by them depends on the colour of major pigment in them. For e.g., chlorophyll imparts the characteristic green colour.
