Environmental Biomarkers

Environmental biomarkers are critical tools for evaluating human exposure to environmental pollutants and understanding their impact on disease risk and public health. These biomarkers, encompassing chemical compounds, trace metals, and molecular indicators detected in biological samples, reflect the uptake, metabolism, and biological effects of environmental contaminants. Systematic bio monitoring of samples such as blood, urine, and tissues enables the assessment of exposure to pollutants including heavy metals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and air pollutants. In clinical and cancer research, environmental biomarkers help elucidate the role of environmental factors in carcinogenesis and disease progression. They support epidemiological studies by linking exposure patterns to molecular changes and adverse health outcomes. Moreover, environmental biomarkers inform regulatory strategies, risk assessment models, and preventive interventions aimed at reducing exposure-related health risks. Integrating environmental biomarker data into public health and clinical frameworks strengthens environmental surveillance, advances precision prevention, and contributes to sustainable health protection strategies.
