Cyanobacteria, often known as blue-green algae, are making headlines for their potential to form harmful algal blooms (HABs), which can produce dangerous metabolites like cyanotoxins and taste and odor (T&O) compounds. These blooms can disrupt aquatic ecosystem balance and pose significant risks to water quality and aquatic life. Effective surface water monitoring is essential for early detection and management of HABs. Join us for our upcoming Water Cooler Talk, where we will explore the application potential of total adenosine triphosphate (tATP) as a tool for early bloom detection and response assessment during algaecide treatments.
