In this review, a wide array of bioaccumulation markers and biomarkers, used to
demonstrate exposure to and effects of environmental contaminants, has been discussed in …

The biomarker concept has aided in increasing knowledge of contaminant impacts on
wildlife and humans, where it has been difficult to lethally sample specimens for research …

Water contamination, both in freshwater and marine ecosystems, has been a serious
environmental problem all over the world in the last few decades. One of the most common …

Representing toxicant‐induced changes in biological systems, biomarkers can serve as
linkers between contamination (cause) and biological effects, and therefore provide unique …

Organic contaminants are readily bioaccumulated by aquatic organisms. Exposure to and
toxic effects of contaminants can be measured in terms of the biochemical responses of the …

Pharmaceuticals, among the emerging contaminants, are one of the most relevant groups of
substances in aquatic ecosystems due to universal use, their chemico-physical properties …

Assessment of the response of fish populations to contaminants usually involves
measurement of indicators of exposure or effects, but rarely do biomonitoring studies …

Understanding the biological effects of exposures to chemicals in the environment relies on
classical methods and emerging technologies in the areas of genomics, proteomics, and …

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to and review of the state-of-science
concerning the use of biological markers in animals and plants as an innovative approach to …

As an integral part of our continued development of water quality assessment approaches,
we combined integrative sampling, instrumental analysis of widely occurring anthropogenic …
