A biofilter that protects drinking water from harmful algal blooms
- "After [a harmful algal bloom left half a million residents without safe drinking water for three days and] prompted the city of Toledo’s “Do Not Drink” advisory, the microbiologist [Dr. Jason Huntley] expanded his research projects to target microcystin... Huntley’s research lab recently made major progress in his mission to create a biofilter that uses naturally occurring Lake Erie bacteria to remove microcystin released by harmful algal blooms from drinking water, reducing or eliminating the use of chlorine and other chemicals." - Excerpt from The University of Toledo.
