SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As the 

Baby Boom generation approaches 

retirement age, it is essential that we 

evaluate and develop any needed 

policies to ensure that this national 

resource remains a vital part of society. 

The 2005 White House Conference on 

Aging (WHCoA) is seeking input from a 

wide array of stakeholders as we 

develop an overarching agenda and plan 

for the 2005 WHCoA. For example, how 

can we enable both ‘‘rising’’ seniors and 

mature seniors to continue actively 

participating in and contributing to 

personal, community and national wellbeing? Looking forward over the next 

decade and beyond, how can we, as 

individuals, businesses, private 

organizations, and Government, in 

partnership, better harness the vast 

potential that exists within an aging 

America.

Josefina G. Carbonell, 

Assistant Secretary for Aging.

Proposed Project 

Human Exposure to Cyanobacterial 

(blue-green algal) Toxins in Drinking 

Water: Risk of Exposure to Microcystin 

from Public Water Systems (OMB No. 

0920–0527) ‘‘Revision—National Center 

for Environmental Health (NCEH), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) can 

be found in terrestrial, fresh, brackish, 

or marine water environments. Some 

species of cyanobacteria produce toxins 

that may cause acute or chronic 

illnesses (including neurotoxicity, 

hepatotoxicity, and skin irritation) in 

humans and animals (including other 

mammals, fish, and birds). A number of 

human health effects, including 

gastroenteritis, respiratory effects, skin 

irritations, allergic responses, and liver 

damage, are associated with the 

ingestion of or contact with water 

containing cyanobacterial blooms. 

Although the balance of evidence, in 

conjunction with data from laboratory 

animal research, suggests that 

cyanobacterial toxins are responsible for 

a range of human health effects, there 

have been few epidemiologic studies of 

this association. 

CDC originally planned to conduct a 

study of human exposure to 

microcystins in drinking water from a 

source with a cyanobacterial bloom. 

However, regional weather patterns over 

the last 2 years (since the original OMB 

application was approved) have not 

supported blooms in the lake that is the 

source of drinking water for our 

cooperating utility. Therefore, we have 

decided to redirect our activities to 

assess recreational exposures. Anecdotal 

evidence suggests that exposure to 

cyanobacterial toxins in recreational 

waters may be an important public 

health issue.
