AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers monitored algal toxins (domoic acid, saxitoxin, okadaic acid) at seven locations off southern California using a technique called Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking.
- All locations had at least two types of toxins present, with co-occurrence of two and three toxins found in 12% and 10% of samples, respectively.
- The study enhances our understanding of multiple algal toxins in the area and raises concerns about possible health risks from their simultaneous presence.
Article Abstract
Algal toxins (domoic acid, saxitoxin, okadaic acid) were monitored at seven locations off southern California using Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking. At least two types of toxins were found at all locations, with co-occurrence of two and three toxins in 12% and 10% of samples, respectively. This study expands our limited understanding of the simultaneous presence of multiple algal toxins along the coast and raises questions regarding the potential health ramifications of such co-occurrences.
