In a laboratory-scale trial, we studied the removal of saxitoxins from water by ozone, granular activated carbon (GAC) and H2O2, and considered the implications of residual toxicity for compliance with the Australian drinking water standards. Cell-free extracts of Anabaena circinalis were added to raw, untreated drinking water obtained from a water supply reservoir to provide a toxicity of 30 mug (STX equivalents) l(-1). Ozone alone, or in combination with H2O2, failed to destroy the highly toxic STX and GTX-2/3, and only partially destroyed dc-STX, and the low-toxicity C-toxins and GTX-5. In all cases, the toxicity of the water was reduced by less than 10%. GAC removed all of the STX, dc-STX and GTXs, but only partially removed the C-toxins. However, the residual toxicity was reduced to the suggested Australian drinking water guideline concentration of 3 mug (STX equivalents) l(-1) without O-3 pre-treatment. Modelling the spontaneous chemical degradation of residual C-toxins following treatment shows that residual toxicity Could increase to 10 mug l(-1) after 11d due to formation of dc-GTXs and would then gradually decay. In all, residual toxicity would exceed the Australian drinking water guideline concentration for a total of 50d. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
