Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occurring in freshwater, and the
associated toxins they produce, are dangerous to animals and
humans. Mitigating the increasing presence of HABs presents a major
challenge to water managers and drinking water utilities across the
world. This book explores the current research on removal of HABs
and toxins from drinking water. It provides the necessary tools so
that treatment plant operators, engineers, and water managers can
understand the vulnerability of drinking water treatment plants to
HABs and develop treatment processes to minimize the impact of
these contaminants. Although conventional treatment processes can
be effective for the removal of HAB cells and some HAB toxins under
optimal conditions, the potential exists for significant
breakthrough of toxins during normal operation. As a result, there
is a recognized need for more advanced techniques. Possible
advanced processes for removing HAB toxins include granular
activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), or
oxidative processes. This book reviews both conventional and
advanced treatment processes and presents clear and
easy-to-understand procedures for the design of systems for optimal
cell or toxin removal.
