Determination and Significance of Emerging Algal Toxins (Cyanotoxins)

Abstract

Analyzes and compares analytical techniques used to assess the occurrence of total (intracellular and dissolved) and dissolved biotoxins in water supplies and treated waters. Refines analytical techniques for certain cyanobacteria toxins and validates the methods in natural waters. Research partner: CRCWQT. Published in 2007.
