Occurrence of microcystin congeners in surface waters and food in Belgium as a source of exposure to humans
Organization. Yet, no toxins were found in Belgium’s drinking water. However, the situation is very different for the Belgian fresh waterbodies (lakes, ponds, canals). There, MC s ranging from 0.11 µg L−1 to ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
extracted with methanol 80%, followed by an SPE clean-up step before LC- MS / MS analysis. The LOQ was fixed at 1 µg/L for the nine cyanotoxins and 0.05 µg/L for AFM1. Recoveries were measured between 82.67% ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
surface waters are used equally in Flanders, while in Wallonia, up to 80% of tap water originates from groundwater [3,4,5]. The remaining 20% is captured from the river Meuse, old mining sites and six dams ...
