The use of biomarkers in environmental monitoring programmes
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2003The monitoring of biological effects has recently become an integral component of environmental monitoring programmes as a supplement to the commonly used contaminant monitoring. Over the years, many biomarkers have been developed that are claimed to be efficient at providing an early warning of deleterious effects on biological systems and for ...

, 2023 The environment is facing critical issues around how we mitigate anthropogenic and natural phenomena impacts on environmental and ecosystem health while preserving environmental quality. Characterizing and assessing risk will be determined largely by the ability to identify and detect predictive indicators of stressor exposure and adverse effect.

Biomarkers and environmental risk assessment: Guiding principles from the human health field
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2008 Although the potential use of biomarkers within environmental risk assessment (ERA) has long been recognised their routine use is less advanced compared with clinical human health risk assessment, where a number of familiar biomarkers (such as blood ...

Biomarkers of environmental toxicity and susceptibility in autism
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2009Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may result from a combination of genetic/biochemical susceptibilities in the form of a reduced ability to excrete mercury and/or increased environmental exposure at key developmental times. Urinary porphyrins and transsulfuration metabolites in participants diagnosed with an ASD were examined.

On the use of biomarkers for environmental health research
Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2004This article discusses the growing interest in the use of biomarker data in environmental health research and considers some of the challenging statistical issues that arise. We specify a modeling framework that links environmental exposure, biomarkers and outcome, and discuss in conceptual terms how such a formulation could be used to inform dose ...

Biomarkers of Environmental Contamination
2018This is a review of the use of biological markers in animals and plants for evaluating the ecological and health effects of environmental contamination. Biomarkers can be used as indicators of exposure to toxic chemicals and as predictors of the adverse consequences of such exposure.

SAFFRON AS ENVIRONMENTAL BIOMARKER OF DIFFUSE CONTAMINATION
Acta Horticulturae, 2010For the first time saffron has been employed as environmental bioindicator to characterize the presence of a complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) mixture. The objective of this study was to provide quantitative information regarding PAHs contamination in saffron in order to verify the possibility to use this spice as environmental biomarker ...

Biomarkers of Environmental and Workplace Boron Exposure
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2008The purpose of this work was to identify an accurate, noninvasive biomarker of boron exposure that could be used in worker populations. Occupational exposure to boron is of concern due to high numbers of workers exposed, animal toxicity data suggesting reproductive effects, and lack of human studies.
