- The study explored the fate of cyanobacteria and their toxic metabolites trapped in water treatment sludge. This study was funded through a highly competitive Australian Government Endeavour Award. The results led to an immediate change in operating procedures for water treatment sludge and sludge lagoon supernatant in plants operated by the South Australian Water Corporation (Peter Hobson, Peter.Hobson@sawater.com.au) to minimise the impact of cyanobacterial cells and metabolites on drinking water quality. Further, the results of this study are disseminated by the American Water Works Association in their “Cyanotoxin Primer for Drinking Water Professionals.” (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/awwa.1088)
