•Epidemiology in China: •Contaminated drinking water ↔primary liver and colon cancer.
•Injection of toxin ± initiator: •Increased size/number of livercancer precursors.
•Oral M. aeruginosa. extract:•Skin papillomas larger/heavier. •No effect on duodenal tumoursor lymphoma.
Evidence for Tumor Promotion by Microcystins
Colon cancer precursors larger.

What are Guidelines & MCLs?World Health Organization“….. A guideline value represents the
concentration of a constituent that does not result in any significant risk to the health of the consumer over a lifetime of consumption."
US Environmental Protection Agency“….. The recommended maximum contaminant
level must be set to prevent the occurrence of any known or anticipated health event."

Deriving the WHO Guideline for Microcystin LR
• Microcystin has been treated as a threshold toxicant – i.e. non-genotoxic, non-carcinogenic
• Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) [i.e. Reference Dose (RfD] was calculated from NOAEL (40 µg/kg/day) in 13-week sub-chronic oral mouse dosing study with MC-LR
• Uncertainty Factors: x 10 intraspecies, x 10 interspecies, x 10 for limitations of data – lack of data on chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity = Total UF x 1000
• GV (MCL) = TDI x BW x Pintake = 0.04 x 60kg x 0.8 = 0.96Daily Consumption 2L ~ 1µg/L

A.Partnerships -- Those people most affected by management decisions are involved throughout and shape key decisions.
B.Geographic Focus -- Activities are directed within specific geographic areas, typically the areas that drain to surface water bodies or that recharge or overlay ground waters or a combination of both.
C.Sound Management Techniques based on Strong Science and Data --
i.assessment and characterization of the natural resources and thecommunities that depend upon them; ii.goal setting and identification of environmental objectives based on the condition or vulnerability of resources and the needs of the aquatic ecosystem and the people within the community; iii.identification of priority problems; iv.development of specific management options and action plans; v.implementation; and vi.evaluation of effectiveness and revision of plans, as needed.
