ULTRAVIOLET- AND SOLAR LIGHT-ACTIVATED NANOSTRUCTURED TIO2 PHOTOCATALYSTS: APPLICATION IN THE DESTRUCTION OF CYANOTOXINS, A GROUP OF CYANOTOXINS EMERGING DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANTS. Presented at American Chemical Society National Meeting, Chicago, IL, March 25 - 29, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
The major objective for this task is to develop analytical methods to detect problematic cyanotoxins in water. A preconcentration/extraction procedure will be initially developed to remove interfering substances with the detection of cyanotoxins in various water matrices. These methods will be used to determine the occurrence/prevalence of cyanotoxins in water and in the cyanobacterial cell culture collection in-house, and compare with the effectiveness of innovative detection methods developed for biological toxins.
