Utility of Assays for Detecting Environmental Pollutants

Source

In Situ bioassays are toxicity determining techniques applied to or designed for use under real world conditions outside of the control of the laboratory. A number of plants and animals, domestic and wild, are used in situ to measure and monitor mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and other biological endpoints; for example, growth, nitrogen fixation, excretion of urinary δ-aminolevulinic acid, blood cell abnormalities, etc. The organisms include corn, soybean, spiderwort, white footed mouse, wild house mouse, mudminnow, white croaker and brown bullhead fish, sea urchin and mussel.
