What Role Do Biomonitoring and Bioindicators Play?
Biomonitoring involves measuring the levels of chemicals or their metabolites in biological specimens, such as blood or urine, to assess human exposure to environmental pollutants. Bioindicators, such as certain plants or animals, are used to detect changes in the environment due to contamination. These tools are invaluable for detecting and monitoring pollution, aiding in the evaluation of environmental health.
