Building a Cyanotoxin Early-Warning Sensor Network for Drinking Water Reservoirs with Shanghai ChiMay
The Escalating Cyanotoxin Threat to Source Water Cyanobacteria have been around for over 2.5 billion years, but nutrient enrichment — nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural runoff and wastewater discharge — has dramatically accelerated their spread. The result: cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) producing cyanotoxins — microcystins, cylindrospermopsin, anatoxins — that are a health concern at…
