Biomarkers for Environmental Biomonitoring: An Integrated
Perspective provides a holistic view of the biomonitoring of
environmental degradation, accumulated toxicity, and associated
human health concerns. Organized into two sections, the book
incorporates theoretical and practical aspects of the biomonitoring
of environmental pollution and the health surveillance of
ecological communities using samples from living organisms which
are analyzed for contaminants and toxin levels. In the first half,
the book provides a general overview if the different types of
biomarkers, their significance as bioindicators for contaminants
and detection of toxicity, as well as how they can be utilized in
the restoration of degraded ecosystems. The second half of the book
discusses molecular biomarkers and how they are used as diagnostic
and prognostic tools for pollution monitoring. It reviews
analytical tools used to validate the biomarkers in the detection
and monitoring of pollution and disease. The book also delves into
how novel approaches like genetic ecotoxicology; Big Data, and
artificial intelligence calculates the potential consequences of
environmental pollution on the ecosystems and on human health.
