Blue Green Slime Poster
PDF file Developed and created by Wendy Stephan, Health Educator, Florida Poison Information
Center/Miami, FL. Funding and support for production supplied by the
Aquatics Toxin Program at the Florida Department of Health, the Center for Disease
Control, and the Florida Harmful Algal Bloom Task Force.
The following
graphs and schematics (figures 1-5) were taken
from the World Health Organization’s “Toxic
Cyanobacteria in Water: A Guide to Their Public
Health Consequences, Monitoring and Management",
Chorus and Bartram (eds.), 1999. These visual displays
of suggested guideline levels may prove useful to
those experiencing freshwater harmful algal blooms
and who are in need of some assistance. For
more detailed information please consult a
local expert or review this reference book.
To view the linked PDFs, just
click on the links below.

1: Summary
of managerial action levels for drinking waters and
bathing waters.
Figure
2: Relative
risk categories for adverse human health outcomes due
to toxic cyanobacteria in drinking water.
Figure
3: Decision
tree incorporating a model Alert Levels Framework for
monitoring and management of cyanobacteria in drinking
water supplies.
Figure
4: The
risk management cycle (adapted from Soby et al., 1993).
Figure
5: Simple
and rapid assessment of the degree of protection afforded
by drinking water supply systems (Note: this figure should be used with,
rather than instead of, more detailed health investigations).
Figure
6: Chart
of potential toxin producing species of cyanobacteria
and the toxins they have been documented to produce
(this list will change over time as more information
and research becomes available).
