II. Background 

Cyanobacteria are naturally occurring 

organisms similar to algae. These 

organisms can occur in fresh water and 

may rapidly multiply causing ‘‘blooms’’ 

under favorable conditions. Conditions 

that enhance bloom formation and 

persistence include light intensity and 

duration, nutrient availability (such as 

nitrogen and phosphorus), water 

temperature, pH and water column 

stability. Some blooms produce 

cyanotoxins such as microcystin, 

cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin-a, 

which can be a health concern. For 

additional background information on 

cyanotoxins in drinking water, please go 

to: http://www2.epa.gov/sites/

production/files/2014-08/documents/

cyanobacteria_factsheet.pdf. 

EPA is developing health advisories 

for two cyanotoxins: microcystin and 

cylindrospermopsin. A health advisory 

is an estimate of acceptable drinking 

water levels for a contaminant based on 

health effects and other information, 

and also provides recommended 

analytical and treatment techniques. 

Health advisories are intended to assist 

federal, state, and local officials and 

public water system managers in 

achieving public health goals. A health 

advisory is not a legally enforceable 

standard under the Safe Drinking Water 

Act. 

The focus of this public meeting is to 

gather input on additional information 

the Agency can provide to states and 

public water systems to help them 

prepare for and respond to potential 

cyanotoxin health concerns in drinking 

water.
