Biomarkers of Environmental Exposures in Blood
2019Exposure to environmental pollution is recognized as a significant contributor to the burden of disease in the general population. Biomonitoring of chemical concentrations in human tissues and matrices is a powerful tool for measuring exposure to chemicals in a population.

Fish Metalloproteins as Biomarkers of Environmental Contamination
2012Fish are well-recognized bioindicators of environmental contamination. Several recent proteomic studies have demonstrated the validity and value of using fish in the search and discovery of new biomarkers. Certain analytical tools, such as comparative protein expression analyses, both in field and lab exposure studies, have been used to improve the ...

Use and misuse of biomarker tests in ″Environmental conditions”
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1994In the diagnostic evaluation of suspected building-related illness, one generally must thoroughly evaluate the following: (1) workplace or office industrial hygiene measures; (2) material safety data sheets on products or agents used in that particular building; (3) medical records of all persons who claim to have building-related illness; (4) the type

P450 in wild animals as a biomarker of environmental impact
Biomarkers, 2001The impact of environmental pollution on selected animals was tested by monitoring the hepatic content of cytochromes P450 and their enzyme activities or by calculating TEQ values from the concentration of pollutants in the body. Fish-eating Stellars Sea Eagles, Haliaeetus pelagicus, found dead in the northern part of Hokkaido island accumulated high ...

Biomarkers for assessing environmental exposure to carcinogens in the diet
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995The major sources of human exposure to environmental carcinogens are through inhalation, ingestion, and percutaneous absorption. Food-borne carcinogens constitute the primary source of ingested carcinogens. Epidemiological analyses indicate that 20-50% of all human cancer is due to dietary causes, unfortunately, few specific etiologic agents have been ...

Peroxisome proliferation as a biomarker in environmental pollution assessment
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2003AbstractPeroxisome proliferators comprise a heterogeneous group of compounds known for their ability to cause massive proliferation of peroxisomes and liver carcinogenesis in rodents. In recent years it has become evident that other animals may be threatened by peroxisome proliferators, in particular aquatic organisms living in coastal and estuarine ...

Use of biomarkers in environmental monitoring
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2009Using specific examples, this paper discusses several key issues associated with the use of biomarkers, which could influence their effectiveness and usefulness. First, there are few biomarkers that are specific enough to allow an identification of the precise nature of environmental stressors.

Stress proteins as molecular biomarkers for environmental toxicology
1996Biomarkers are increasingly being used in environmental monitoring to provide evidence that organisms have been exposed to, or affected by, xenobiotic chemicals. Usually, these biomarkers rely on biochemical, histological, morphological, and physiological changes in whole organisms; however, changes at the cellular and molecular levels of organization,
