In the special issue, we published a paper reporting that ozonation of cyanobacterial extract effectively removes microcystins, microcystin-independent in vitro tumor promoting activity (inhibition of gap junctional intercellular communication, activation of mitogen activated protein kinases) as well as cytotoxicity. In contract, chlorination was much less effective in removing toxins and in vitro toxicity, even if high chlorine doses causing a similar level of total organic carbon reduction as ozone were applied. The study indicates advantages of ozonation as well as effect-based monitoring in evaluation of water treatment technologies.
