Destruction of cyanobacterial toxins by semiconductor photocatalysis.

Abstract

The rapid destruction of microcystin, a cyanobacterial toxin, using a titanium dioxide photocatalyst is observed; the process is extremely efficient with high concentrations of toxin completely undetectable within 10-40 min, depending on the initial concentration.
