<p><b>Provides a comprehensive overview of key methods for treating water tainted by cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins</b> </p> <p>Toxigenic cyanobacteria are one of the main health risks associated with water resources. Consequently, the analysis, control, and removal of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins from water supplies is a high priority research area. This book presents a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research on water treatment methods for the removal of cyanobacteria, taste and odor compounds, and cyanotoxins. </p> <p>Starting with an introduction to the subject, <i>Water Treatment for Purification from Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins</i> offers chapters on cyanotoxins and human health, conventional physical-chemical treatment for the removal of cyanobacteria/cyanotoxins, removal of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins by membrane processes, biological treatment for the destruction of cyanotoxins, and conventional disinfection and/or oxidation processes. Other chapters look at advanced oxidation processes, removal/destruction of taste and odour compounds, transformation products of cyanobacterial metabolites during treatment and integrated drinking water processes.</p> <ul> <li>Provides a comprehensive overview of key methods for treating water tainted by cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins</li> <li>Bridges the gap between basic knowledge of cyanobacteria/cyanotoxins and practical management guidelines</li> <li>Includes integrated processes case studies and real-life examples</li> <li>Developed within the frame of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST)–funded CYANOCOST</li> </ul> <p>A must-have resource for every water treatment plant, <i>Water Treatment for Purification from Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins</i> is a valuable resource for all researchers in water chemistry and engineering, environmental chemistry as well as water companies and authorities, water resource engineers and managers, environmental and public health protection organizations.</p>
