Toxic cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) have now been reported in 27 countries and are foundon all continents, including Antarctica. Drinking water authorities world-wide are faced withthe challenge of treating contaminated water, or the possibility of a toxic bloom occurringsometime in the future. Knowledge of reliable treatment options, applicable in a range ofconditions, for the toxins produced by cyanobacteria (cyanotoxins), is of crucial importance tothe international water industry.In this work a range of treatment options was investigated for the most commonly identifiedalgal toxins in drinking water sources, the microcystins. A study of the adsorption ofcylindrospermopsin onto six powdered activated carbons (PACs) is also reported. Includes figures.
