Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Understanding and reducing the spread of antibiotic resistance in disinfection

This project aims to understand and reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance in disinfection…

Source & Catchments

Developing guidance for assessment and evaluation of harmful algal blooms, and implementation of control strategies in source water

The environmental conditions which cause blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms vary according to location, the climate, and other attributes of aquatic ecosystems…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Guidance for integration of gene testing in cyanobacterial management

Cyanobacterial blooms are a global water quality concern that affects drinking water, recreational areas, and irrigation systems…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Quantification of pathogen removal in activated sludge treatment

Smaller and regional Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) have the capacity to recycle wastewater for agricultural use, but the cost of obtaining regulatory approval or ‘accreditation’ is prohibitive…

Source & Catchments

Benthic Cyanobacteria: An aesthetic and toxic risk to be evaluated

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which float in reservoirs have been studied for decades because when they bloom, the very high cell numbers cause a problem for water treatment plant (WTP) operators, who have to remove the cells, toxins, and taste and odour compounds they produce…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Management of Environmental E. coli

E. coli bacteria naturally populate the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals; they are usually harmless and are commonly excreted…

Source & Catchments

Bad tastes, odours and toxins in our drinking water reservoirs: Are benthic cyanobacteria the culprits?

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) reduce water quality especially when they bloom and form high numbers of cells which produce toxins, and taste and odour compounds…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Tool box development for microbial source tracking water sources and catchments

‘Microbial source tracking’ (MST) is a technique that aims to identify the animal that excreted faeces and polluted water…

Human & Environmental Health Impacts

Template A rapid, reliable and effective tool for assessing toxic ‘algal’ blooms in Vic water supplies – MT-PCR

Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms decrease water quality by releasing toxins and unpalatable taste and odour compounds…

Source & Catchments

Cyanosurvey: A national update on toxic cyanobacteria and their distribution

This research has provided the most comprehensive account of the geographical distribution of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), and the toxins they produce, in Australia…
