South Africa suspends water scientist

Turton's presentation, which is still available on the CSIR website, criticizes South Africa's science system for failing to address key health threats relating to water-resource management. He writes that it is "bordering on the criminally negligent" that no high-confidence research has been done to evaluate the impact on human health of water toxins known as microcystins, despite South African water reserves containing some of the highest levels in the world.
