Fulltext PDFBiomarkers are demonstrated as novel strategies in ecotoxicolgical trails to implicate risk assessment and policy. Evaluation of the stressors in the organisms and/or wildlife passes with challenges for measuring risk factor. However, it is easy to assess the impact and adverse effects in target or non-target. Modern pattern and technologies in toxicological research were updated to provide multi-biomarkers categories. As stated, cytokines are employed as a novel biomarker especially that used for allergy screening, disease's diagnosis, and occupational exposure assessment. On the other hand, epigenetic marks on particular gene could serve as biomarkers for exposure to specific stressors or toxic outcomes. Biomarkers may rely impact of physical and chemical compounds or environmental changes on organisms. Most of biomarkers are enzymes, proteins and molecular molecules. So, sentinel animals models can serve as good indicators to state ecosystem health or stress's evidence during monitoring programs. Sum of biomarkers in correlation with stressors may provide early warning of potential risk to ecosystems.
