Description
“Cyanobacteria (sometimes called blue-green algae) are found naturally in marine and fresh waters. In the right conditions, they can rapidly bloom. Some cyanobacteria are able to produce potent toxins that can pose a threat to human health through drinking and recreational water exposure. This webinar will present the updated Guideline for Canadian Drinking Water Quality on cyanobacterial toxins. It will discuss the recommended approaches to responding to potential risk from these toxins in Canadian drinking water sources. Proposed updates to guidance on dealing with cyanobacteria in recreational water sources will also be presented. This webinar is presented by the Water Quality Division, Health Canada.”
Who should attend?
“Representatives of provincial and territorial environment and health agencies, local governments, drinking water suppliers, recreational water managers and others interested in learning about cyanotoxins in drinking and recreational water.”
