title: [Advance of study on the detoxification of the microcystin].
abstract: Contamination of water on toxic blooms of cyanobacteria has occurred in many regions of the world and could be a serious public health problem. It is hard to degrade all the microcystins by using ordinary waste water treatment process, so it is increasingly urgent to develop a new technology to deal with them. In this article the current ways of effectively removing microcystin toxins were reviewed.
