These findings have some application for biomonitoring environmental pollution. Environ Toxicol Chem © 2014 SETAC ...
The collection of invasive samples from susceptible populations may suffer from ethical and practical limitations that restrict the routine application of human biomonitoring. Moreover, the accumulation of exposure data will be unsuccessful in risk assessment if not integrated through the appropriate sets of biomarkers for early biological responses. ...
In this paper, we describe a process in which these two challenges are integrated: the interpretation of human biomonitoring results for policy-making. We present work of the Flemish Centre for Health and Environment, working directly for the Flemish government. ...
The results showed that the polarographic method is more sensitive than the colorimetric one.Keywords: biomarkers, cadmium contamination, malondialdehyde, metallothioneins, Ruditapes decussates, clams, heavy metals, biomonitoring, environmental ...
The CYP72A21 promoter was highly responsive to treatments with various chemicals, and thus might be useful for producing transgenic plants for biomonitoring of environmental ...
The higher frequency of chromosomal aberration in lymphocytes of radiation workers compared with non-exposed controls could be due to the accumulative effect of radiation, finally leading to detectable chromosomal aberrations.Keywords: chromosomal aberrations, cytogenetic biomonitoring, low dose X-irradiation, occupational exposure, low radiation, radiology departments, Iran, ...
This requirement is particularly true for sea ecosystems, owing to the large number of required variables and to the various effects on different species and ecosystems. For these reasons, biomonitoring programmes in sea environments are very important. Establishing the pollutant level in organisms may help to evaluate the possible toxicity for various species at different levels ...
