- Abstract
This article cites a study undertaken to assess the amount of aerosolized brevetoxin to which beach goers were exposed during a Karenia brevis harmful algal bloom that occurred at Jacksonville Beach on the Atlantic coast of Florida during October 1999. Results of the study provide an indication of the distribution of brevetoxins along the beach, from north and south sampling stations and across the beach from near the surf zone across dunes into the parking lot for each day. Higher amounts of air-borne toxins and greater distance of inland transport were observed on October 9 relative to that on October 10.
