Journal Article
LIU, I., LAWTON, L.A., BAHNEMANN, D.W. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 2005. The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using Ti02. Applied catalysis B: environmental [online], 60(3-4), pages 245-252. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2005.03.006

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis has been used to initiate the destruction of nodularin, a natural hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. The destruction process was monitored using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis which has als... Read More about The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using Ti02..

A comparison of the effectiveness of TiO2 photocatalysis and UVA photolysis for the destruction of three pathogenic micro-organisms. (2005)
Journal Article
ROBERTSON, J.M.C., ROBERTSON, P.K.J. and LAWTON, L.A. 2005. A comparison of the effectiveness of TiO2 photocatalysis and UVA photolysis for the destruction of three pathogenic micro-organisms. Journal of photochemistry and photobiology A: chemistry [online], 175(1), pages 51-56. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jphotochem.2005.04.033

TiO2 photocatalysis has demonstrated efficacy as a treatment process for water contaminated with chemical pollutants. When exposed to UVA light TiO2 also demonstrates an effective bactericidal activity. The mechanism of this process has been reported...

Occurrence of toxigenic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters of Sri Lanka. (2005)
Journal Article
JAYATISSA, L.P., SILVA, E.I.L., MCELHINEY, J. and LAWTON, L.A. 2006. Occurrence of toxigenic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters in Sri Lanka. Systematic and applied microbiology [online], 29(2), pages 156-164. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.syapm.2005.07.007

A previous pioneering study of freshwater bodies in Sri Lanka revealed the presence of toxic cyanobacteria in three out of four water bodies tested. It was therefore important to perform a more detailed investigation into the presence of cyanobacteri... Read More about Occurrence of toxigenic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters of Sri Lanka..
