	Cyanobacterial Toxins of Drinking Water Supplies
	Order Code: TF103 ISBN Number: 0415318793 Publisher: Taylor Francis No. of Pages: 296 Date of Publication: 2005 Price: £49.00
Contamination of water, both drinking and recreational, by cyanobacteria is of increasing concern worldwide. Such contamination has claimed livestock relatively frequently, but acute poisoning is rare in humans. However, there is growing speculation about the role of cylindrospermopsins and microcystins in gastrointestinal and liver cancer. Written by a world authority involved in revising the World Health Organization's drinking water guidelines, Cyanobacterial Toxins of Drinking Water Supplies provides a coherent account of the biology, chemistry, toxicology, and human health implications of cylindrospermopsins and microcystins, and their occurrence in water supplies Contents: Introduction. Toxic cyanobacteria and their identification. Toxin chemistry and biosynthesis. Cyanobacterial ecology. Cyanobacterial poisoning of livestock and mankind. Cylindrospermopsin toxicity. Microcystin toxicity. Risk and safety from drinking water. Monitoring of reservoirs for toxic cyanobacteria and analysis of nutrients in water. Detection and analysis of cylindrospermopsins and microcystins. Prevention, mitigation and remediation of cyanobacterial blooms in reservoirs.
