Emergent marine toxins risk assessment using molecular and chemical approaches

open access: yesEFSA Journal, 2022
Cyanobacteria harmful blooms represent a deviation to the normal equilibrium in planktonic communities involving a rapid and uncontrolled growth. Owing to the capacity to produce toxins as secondary metabolites, cyanobacteria may cause huge economic ...

Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) Technology for the Monitoring of Aquatic Toxins: A Review

open access: yesToxins, 2018
The Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) technology, first introduced in 2004, uses porous synthetic resins capable of passively adsorbing toxins produced by harmful microalgae or cyanobacteria and dissolved in the water.

Transition of cavitating flow to supercavitation within Venturi nozzle – hysteresis investigation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Cavitation is usually considered as undesirable phenomena. On the other hand, it can be utilized in many applications. One of the technical applications is using cavitation in water treatment, where hydrodynamic cavitation seems to be effective way how ...

Cyanotoxins: Bioaccumulation and Effects on Aquatic Animals

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2011
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into three main types according to their mechanism of action in vertebrates ...

Multi-Toxin Occurrences in Ten French Water Resource Reservoirs

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Cyanobacteria are known to produce a wide array of metabolites, including various classes of toxins. Among these, hepatotoxins (Microcystins), neurotoxins (Anatoxin-A and PSP toxins) or cytotoxins (Cylindrospermopsins) have been subjected to numerous ...

Negative Effects of Cyanotoxins and Adaptative Responses of Daphnia

open access: yesToxins, 2022
The plethora of cyanobacterial toxins are an enormous threat to whole ecosystems and humans. Due to eutrophication and increases in lake temperatures from global warming, changes in the distribution of cyanobacterial toxins and selection of few highly ...

Cyanobacteria, microcystins and cylindrospermopsin in public drinking supply reservoirs of Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2014
Brazil has a history of blooms and contamination of freshwater systems by cyanobacterial toxins. The monitoring relevance of toxins from cyanobacteria in reservoirs for public supply is notorious given its high toxicity to mammals, included humans beings.
