Speth, T., N. Dugan, Joel Allen, D. Lytle, H. Mash, T. Sanan, J. Shoemaker, J. Garland, AND M. Latham. Formation and Control of Cyanobacterial Toxins. Presented at 11th CECIA IAUPR Biennial Symposium on Potable Water Issues in Puerto Rico, Bayamon, PUERTO RICO, February 12 - 14, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
The presentation will allow others to understand the state of the science on toxin removal and provoke discussion on other potential approaches that may be effective.
Description:
This presentation will cover the formation of harmful algal blooms and the control of their toxins. Data will be presented from current ORD projects on the treatment of cyanobacterial toxins through drinking water treatment facilities. The results will demonstrate that current conventional facilities can be effective, but only if certain conditions are maintained.
