New UV chlorine treatment degrades algal bloom toxins

Susan Richardson, a professor at the University of South Carolina, delves into her research on drinking water safety and the impact of disinfection byproducts on environmental water systems. Including, how her lab is mapping real world microplastics using a total organic fluorine method to capture a comprehensive picture of contamination levels, and the development of a new treatment using UV chlorine to degrade algal toxins, which shows promising results with reduced toxicity and byproduct levels.
