Assessment of Cyanotoxins Removal Efficiency Using a Simulated Drinking Water Treatment Process for Downstream Source Water of the Nakdong River [PDF]
대한환경공학회지Objectives This study aims to evaluate the removal rates of nine cyanotoxins produced by cyanobacteria using a laboratory-scale simulated drinking water treatment process (DWTP), providing useful data for DWTP operations during algal blooms.

Determining the Effects of the Coagulant, Aluminum Sulfate, on the Adsorption of Microcystin-LR on Powdered Activated Carbon [PDF]
, 2016 Based on climate change projections, the occurrence and intensity of cyanobacterial blooms is expected to increase; also it is more likely that these blooms will produce multiple cyanotoxins in drinking water supplies.

Immunohistochemical approach to study Cylindrospermopsin distribution in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under different exposure conditions [PDF]
, 2014 Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cytotoxic cyanotoxin produced by several species of freshwater cyanobacteria (i.e., Aphanizomenon ovalisporum). CYN is a tricyclic alkaloid combined with a guanidine moiety.

Degradation of cyanotoxins (microcystin) in drinking water using photoelectrooxidation
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe discharge of sewage and industrial effluents containing high concentrations of pollutants in water bodies increases eutrophication. Cyanobacteria, some of the organisms whose growth is promoted by high nutrient concentrations, are resistant and ...

Persistence of Microcystin in Three Agricultural Ponds in Georgia, USA
ToxinsCyanobacteria and their toxins can have multiple effects on agricultural productivity and water bodies. Cyanotoxins can be transported to nearby crops and fields during irrigation and may pose a risk to animal health through water sources.
