Toxins Webinar | Cyanobacterial Toxins: Toxins Production and Risk Assessment, Held on 12 April 2023
On 12 April 2023, MDPI and the journal Toxins (ISSN: 2072-6651) organized a webinar of the Toxins series, entitled “Cyanobacterial Toxins: Toxins Production and Risk Assessment”. The webinar focused on cyanotoxins’ impacts, namely on irrigation waters, and on the recent cyanotoxin reports uncovered in Portugal. The webinar provided new perspectives, highlighted current impacts, and encouraged new challenges in global research on cyanotoxins.
Dr. Alexandre Campos first developed the cyanotoxins risk assessment on irrigation waters. Dr. Cristiana Moreira showed us the impacts of cyanotoxins on Portugal. After all of the presentations, Prof. Vitor Vasconcelos organized the discussion (Q&A) session. The chair and speakers answered questions raised by scholars one by one. The webinar then came to a successful conclusion.
Please note that this webinar is associated with a Special Issue in the Toxins journal: “Cyanobacterial Toxins: Toxins Production and Risk Assessment”. The deadline is 20 July 2023.
