Conventional laboratory methods for cyanotoxins

2008
It is clear from the literature that numerous methods are available for most cyanotoxins, although many publications on monitoring data indicate that the favored approach is the use proven, robust methods for individual toxins. The most effective approach is the utilization of a robust rapid screen, where positive samples are followed up by qualitative

Spatial and thematic distribution of research on cyanotoxins

Toxicon, 2013
Cyanobacteria in surface water are well known for their ability to form toxic blooms responsible for animal mortality and human poisoning. Accompanying major progress in science and technology, the state of knowledge of cyanotoxins has dramatically increased over the last two decades.

Sources and Occurrence of Cyanotoxins Worldwide

2009
The eutrophication of water resources, mainly attributed to antrophogenic activities such as sewage and agricultural runoffs, has led to a worldwide increase in the formation of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (Cyano-HABs). Cyano-HABs have the ability to produce and release toxic compounds, commonly known as cyanotoxins, which comprise a potent ...

Removal of cyanotoxins by ultrafiltration and nanofiltration

Journal of Membrane Science, 2006
Worldwide drinking water reservoirs may contain cyanobacteria. Their cyanotoxins pose a threat to human health. If growth of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxin production cannot be prevented, cells and toxins need to be removed in drinking water treatment. Ultrafiltration is able to remove microorganisms (>99.99%), but a point of concern is possible release ...

Neurotoxic and hepatotoxic cyanotoxins removal by nanofiltration

Water Research, 2006
This study investigates the influence of chemical feed characteristics on nanofiltration performance for cyanotoxins removal, namely the neurotoxic anatoxin-a (alkaloid of 166 g/mol, positively charged) and the hepatotoxic microcystins (cyclic peptides of approximately 1,000 g/mol, negatively charged).

Cyanotoxins: Practical Solutions Needed

Journal AWWA, 2015
On June 17, 2015, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) released health advisories for two cyanotoxins (2015c). The 10‐day health advisory levels for microcystins are 0.3 Μg/L for children of preschool age or younger and 1.6 Μg/L for ages 6 and up. Similarly, the 10‐day health advisory levels for cylindrospermopsin are 0.7 Μg/L for children of

Freshwater cyanotoxins

2014
Cyanobacteria are of toxicological relevance because several genera of cyanobacteria produce toxins with human and animal health impacts, and adverse effects on water quality. The major hepatotoxic cyanotoxins associated with freshwater are microcystins and cylindrospermopsin.

Cyanotoxin Occurrence in Freshwaters

2001
How likely is a given cyanobacterial bloom to be toxic? This question was addressed in a number of countries already in the 1980s, even before the structures of many cyanotoxins were known. Thus, early surveys were conducted using the mouse bioassay, and results generally showed toxicity in more than half of the cyanobacterial samples tested (e.g ...
