Biomarkers for Environmental Protection

Abstract

Biomarkers are emerging early warning tools of environmental pollutants. These markers help to detect a pollutant in the early stage of exposure and allows for its management measures to be taken before the environment reaches the stage of critical stage of degradation. At present, Acetylcholine inhibition in the invertebrates, lysosomal conditions, antioxidant substances in living organisms are widely used biomarkers to map pollutants. In depth research is still in this field of science for more improvisations and better understanding of biomarkers to safe guard the environment.
