Food Safety Action Plan report : 2010-2011 targeted surveys - chemistry : microcystins in bottled water.: A104-523/2011E-PDF

"The main objective of the Microcystins in Bottled Water targeted survey was to generate baseline data regarding microcystin levels in bottled water available on the Canadian retail market ... The presence of microcystins in water may result in an unpleasant taste and odour, and may cause illness in people consuming these toxins. It is also possible that extended exposure to low levels of these cyanobacterial hepatotoxins may have long-term or chronic effects in humans"--Executive summary, page 1.
