About the Seminar
Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria are increasing in both frequency and distribution and threaten drinking water supplies globally. To reduce the public health risk from toxic cyanobacterial blooms in drinking water, a multi-barrier approach is needed, consisting of prevention, source control, treatment optimization and monitoring. This presentation will discuss the occurrence, significance, and treatment of toxic cyanobacteria in drinking water, with an emphasis on the development of novel membrane technology.
Due to weather, this seminar will be rescheduled for a later date.
