Analyses of cyanobacterial toxins (microcystins, cylindrospermopsins) in the reservoirs of the Czech Republic and evaluation of health risks

Original language description

In this report we present results of cyanotoxins analyses (peptide microcystins, alkaloid cylindrospermopsin) in the Czech Republic reservoirs using HPLC-PDA and ELISA. Our study revealed occurence of cylindrospermopsin in the Czech Republic for the first time in water blooms containing Aphanizomenon klebahnii. We also discuss human health risks associated with microcystins in relation to the drinking water guideline value of 1.0 microgram per litre as recommended by the World Health Organization. Our study demonstrates development of methods, their applications for analyses of both cell-bound (biomass) and dissolved (extracellular) cyanotoxins and evaluation of microcystin health risks.

Analýzy cyanobakteriálních toxinů (microcystinů, cylindrospermopsinu) v nádržích ČR a posouzení zdravotních rizik.

Czech description

Byly analyzovány cyanobacteriální toxiny (microcystiny a cylindrospermopsin) v nádržích v ČR s využitím HPLC-PDA a ELISA metod. Poprvé byl v ČR identifikován toxin cylindrospermopsin v nádržích s vodním květem Aphanizomenon sp. Byl určeno zdravotní riziko spojené s výskytem microcystinu ve zdrojích pro pitnou vodu.
