Summary/Abstract: Microcystins are hepatotoxic cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria. One of the most dangerous is the microcystin-LR. The European Commission has issued a proposal for a Directive on the Quality of Water Intended for Human Consumption. The proposal is a recast of Directive 98/83/EC, which was amended in 2003, 2009 and 2015.Microcystin-LR is included in the proposal as a “Chemical Parameter”, with a parametric value of 1 μg/l.
