Please join the California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and UC Davis for a scientific workshop exploring domoic acid dose levels that induce adverse effects and the spectrum of health endpoints..
Domoic acid is a neurotoxin that is produced by some species of the algae Pseudo-nitzschia and can accumulate in shellfish, including crustaceans. Following large algal blooms along the California coast, the contamination of shellfish can be widespread. Consuming contaminated shellfish poses potential health concerns for both humans and marine mammals.
