While mild human exposure generally results in little or no reaction, there is potential for health impacts ranging from mild irritation from skin contact to severe illness and death associated with ingestion of water containing cyanotoxins. By taking proper
safety precautions, we do not expect or foresee any negative health impacts from participation in this monitoring program, but all participants should be aware of potential risks to make personal decisions about their level of participation. APCC staff will
provide training in measures to avoid or minimize contact with cyanobacteria while sampling and processing samples. Interns and staff are expected to observe these measures. </span></p>
