Article Synopsis
- Drinking water treatment processes can remove harmful toxins from algae blooms, but utilities often react to these events rather than prepare in advance due to cost constraints.
- This study adapted a quantitative microbial risk analysis (QMRA) to create a method for proactive responses to harmful algal blooms, using the 2014 Toledo water crisis as a case study that can apply to other water systems.
- The research emphasizes the importance of modeling toxin status and using specific treatments to minimize health risks, highlighting a need for effective strategies in light of increasing water quality challenges due to climate change.*
