| Abstract Note | For at least 40 years there has been a great interest in the problems created by infectious airborne agents and other toxic sub?? stances transported through the air. During the Second World War, this problem grew out of the very high incidence of upper respira?? tory infections appearing in new military recruits who were brought together in very large, open quarters. As a result, very interest?? ing methods were developed to measure these airborne agents, espe?? cially bacteria, and some important methods were refined for their control. These methods primarily concentrated on ultraviolet radia?? tion, propylene glycol and other means to reduce the dust in an en?? vironment. Because of the specialized circumstances at that time the whole consideration of airborne particles became prominent. Now, with the new strides in the recognition of mutagenic and carcinogenic effects attributed to exposure to airborne chemicals from today's technology, the problem has again become quite promi?? nent. The development of experimental chambers has made it possible to conduct studies under carefully controlled conditions |

| Title | In Situ Evaluation of Biological Hazards of Environmental Pollutants |
| Author(s) | Sandhu, Shabeg S;Lower, William R;de Serres, Frederick J;Suk, William A;Tice, Raymond R |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1990. |
| Description | 290 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The study of the relationship between environmental pollution and human health is in its infancy. The number of substances and mixtures that have been identified in uncontrolled hazardous waste sites or that have been in?? advertently released into the environment is large and data on how thes~ substances are modified as they interact with one another as they migrate through soil, air, and water are limited. There are also limits on our un?? derstanding of how these substances may be ingested, inhaled, or absorbed by people. The complexity of possible interactions between biological, chemical, and physical components in a given environment makes it virtually impossible to evaluate the potential for adverse biological effects ade?? quately in the laboratory. Other, more comprehensive methods which provide realistic and interpretable results must be used. Many scientists believe that humans represent the ultimate sentinel species of a toxic exposure re?? sUlting from environmental pollution, however such exposures may also se?? verely impact environmental health. There exists a wide variety of organ?? isms in the natural environment that could be used to provide an early warning for potential human health effects as well as to indicate adverse ecological effects. The issue of effective utilization of sentinel species for environment?? al monitoring is a rapidly developing area of research which has grown in importance during the last decade |
