July 5 2023 Cyanobacteria
Monitoring Report


Microcystin Toxin Report Wong Lab, WCSU


Here are this week’s assay results for Microcystin levels at Lake Zoar sites. Results meet the assay kit’s

QC criteria.


The U.S. EPA and CT DPH currently advise a Microcystin threshold of 8.0 parts per billion (ppb; μg/L)

for recreational waters.


Here are assay results for nitrate and phosphate levels at Lake Zoar sites.


Nitrate is reported in milligrams per liter (mg/L).


Phosphate is reported in micrograms per liter (μg/L).



Thank you for participating in the WCSU Cyanobacteria Monitoring Program.
