Özet
Thousands of pollutants enter daily into environment and
exert various kinds of stress on organisms and ecosystems.
Risk assessment of these pollutants to organisms and ecosystems is challenging because of diversities in chemical nature
and mode of toxicity of the pollutants as well as variation in
sensitivities of the organisms exposed to the pollutants. Even
low, relatively innocuous concentrations of pollutants often
produce deleterious effects on organisms, which are difficult
to be predicted, because measurable effects are expressed
only after prolonged exposure. But it may be too late to take
remedial actions or steps to reduce risk when these incipient
effects are expressed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop
early warning signals or biomarkers that convincingly reflect
adverse biological responses towards anthropogenic environmental toxins even at minute concentrations.
