Resumen Información suministrada por el agente en SIGEVA
Although several toxigenic species of Cyanobacteria have been reported and associated with algal blooms in Argentina, the most common genera are Microcystis, Dolichospermum (Anabaena), Cylindrospermopsis and Raphidiopsis, and the most common cyanotoxins detected are microcystins. In Argentina there are no regulations on drinking and recreational water quality regarding cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. Most treatment plants have not yet incorporated analyses of cyanobacteria or toxins as a routine... Although several toxigenic species of Cyanobacteria have been reported and associated with algal blooms in Argentina, the most common genera are Microcystis, Dolichospermum (Anabaena), Cylindrospermopsis and Raphidiopsis, and the most common cyanotoxins detected are microcystins. In Argentina there are no regulations on drinking and recreational water quality regarding cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. Most treatment plants have not yet incorporated analyses of cyanobacteria or toxins as a routine, although in recent years the request for such analyses has increased and plant operators follow the value established by the World Health Organization for microcystin-LR as a guide level.
