Toxic Cyanobacteria in Water: A guide to their public health consequences, monitoring and management
نویسنده
چکیده
Fieldwork, including site inspection, sample collection and, in most programmes, some on-site analysis, determines to a large extent the quality of information obtained and represents a significant proportion of the total cost of a cyanobacteria or cyanotoxin monitoring programme. A well-designed and implemented fieldwork programme enhances the quality of the data obtained and may assist greatly in containing overall costs. The importance of careful programme design has been emphasised in Chapter 10, together with the need for pilot testing to refine programmes and to assess logistics.
