Along with abstracts of the issue on the topic of disinfection, McGuire discusses plans to attend the Water Quality Technology Conference (WQTC) in Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 15‐18. What does the October theme of disinfection have to do with WQTC? Well, quite a lot. The agenda includes one session on opportunistic pathogens in distribution systems and premise plumbing, and several sessions on the complementary use of disinfectants as oxidants. Oxidation of cyanotoxins is a viable way to control these increasingly important contaminants using water treatment processes. There is also a discussion paragraph about new (updated) author submission guidelines.
