Tiivistelmä
The aim of the thesis is to find a method for detecting species and evaluating mass of blue-green algae species for Tampere’s water company laboratory in Rusko for increased self-monitoring and make a general guide for using the proposed detection method.
The thesis is carried out as a literature review, due to the global health crisis going on during the thesis process, making access to the laboratory impossible.
Several different suitable methods were found in the research, but the most suitable for Tampere Waters needs was deemed to be sample concentration by sedimentation and microscopy, as it does not require many workhours to perform and is a quite straight forward process.
