Biomarkers of Toxicity
Biomarkers of toxicity are measurable molecular indicators that can be used to monitor the presence of potentially harmful substances or compounds in the environment. They are used to understand the exposure to toxic chemicals in the environment, to evaluate the risk of adverse health effects, and to help design interventions to protect human health. Biomarkers of toxicity can be used to identify affected populations and to inform public health interventions regarding exposure to hazardous chemicals. Through the identification and monitoring of biomarkers of toxicity, public health researchers and researchers in the field of environmental health can make informed decisions regarding interventions that promote public health and reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals.
