Abstract

This chapter presents a case study of a toxic Planktothrix rubescens bloom in the Serbian reservoir Vrutci used as the water supply for the city of Užice. Chemical cyanotoxin analyses were supplemented by Artemia salina bioassays, a questionnaire directed to the inhabitants of Užice, and epidemiological work. The overall aim of the studies was to assess the potential human health impacts of the toxic bloom.
