Cyanotoxins: Practical Solutions Needed
On June 17, 2015, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) released health advisories for two cyanotoxins (2015c). The 10‐day health advisory levels for microcystins are 0.3 Μg/L for children of preschool age or younger and 1.6 Μg/L for ages 6 and up. Similarly, the 10‐day health advisory levels for cylindrospermopsin are 0.7 Μg/L for children of preschool age or younger and 3.0 Μg/L for ages 6 and up. At the same time, USEPA also released a set of recommendations for public water systems on the basis of these health advisories (2015d). Depending on how state primacy agencies use these advisories and recommendations, a fair number of “do not drink/do not boil water” orders may have occurred over the summer as a result of warmer temperatures and algal blooms. So these four numbers and the related recommendations create a complicated situation that needs some practical solutions for the drinking water community.
