If the City of Toledo detects microcystin levels at 1.6 ppb or higher in the drinking water, they will issue a "do not drink" advisory until the level is safe again. If levels are detected at 0.3 ...

Satellite helps monitor microcystin risk in lakes at a large scale by Li Yuan, Chinese Academy of Sciences Credit: Water Research (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120648 ...

Heating microcystin-laden rice husks to 560 degrees Celsius destroys the toxins and produces silica particles, which can be used in other applications.

Heating microcystin-laden rice husks to 560 degrees Celsius destroys the toxins and produces silica particles, which can be used in other applications.

The microcystin toxin is a product of cyanobacteria, a typically harmless form of blue-green algae, which has reportedly been in abundance in nearby Lake Erie.

While Toledo's “Watch” status is based on Monday’s water test that showed 0.6 parts per billion of microcystin, raw water readings have exceeded 100 parts per billion this year in Grand Lake ...
