Abstract:
To provide the human being with safe drinking water is one of the most important issues in public health. In response to the more and more serious pollution of algal toxins, growing concern has been attached to the water bodies contaminated with algal toxins and the effects posed on human health. Drinking water suppliers are confronted with the important problem of how to remove the toxins to the acceptable levels. Conventional water treatment procedures are not efficient in removing toxins. Activated carbon adsorption, membrane filtration, photocatalic process, ozonation and chlorination are effective in removing cyanobacterial toxins, but each has its limitation.
