Abstract
An extraordinary bloom of Planktothrix rubescens was observed in the early 2009 in the Occhito basin (Apulia, Italy), used even as source of drinking water in southern Italy. As a result, an intensive monitoring program for determining cyanotoxins in water destined to human consumption massively contaminated by algal toxins was accomplished during two year in the Occhito lake and through the drinking water chain of the Finocchito Water Treatment Plant. To analyze these cyanotoxins in water sample, an analytical protocol based on solid phase extraction followed by detection with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry has been employed. The analytical method was optimized for the simultaneous determination of 12 cyanotoxins, also including MC-HtyR, MC-WR and MC-HilR.Pubblicazioni consigliate
