Physico-chemical treatment methods for the removal of microcystins (cyanobacterial hepatotoxins) from potable waters. (1999)
Journal Article
LAWTON, L.A. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 1999. Physico-chemical treatment methods for the removal of microcystins (cyanobacterial hepatotoxins) from potable waters. Chemical society reviews [online], 28(4), pages 217-224. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1039/A805416I

The incidence of cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters, including drinking water reservoirs, has increased over the past few decades due to rising nutrient levels. Microcystins are hepatotoxins released from cyanobacteria and have been responsible for...

Purification, detection and biological effects of cyanobacterial toxins. (1999)
Thesis
MCELHINEY, J. 1999. Purification, detection and biological effects of cyanobacterial toxins. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Dense growths of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), known as blooms, commonly occur in fresh and brackish waters throughout the world. Cyanobacterial blooms present a considerable threat to water quality as many species produce toxins. These toxins ha...
