Saxitoxin Data
Based on the US EPA’s recreational swimming advisories for Saxitoxins, public health advisories are issued stating that water contact should be avoided when saxitoxin exceeds 0.8 µg/L. At concentrations of >3.0 µg/L a No Contact advisory is issued stating that all contact with water and aerosols should be avoided. More information about the EPA recommended criteria for Saxitoxin concentrations can be found here.
