Very few publications on biomarkers have
considered the difficulties that arise from their practical use. In this
study the actual operationality of biomarkers have been assessed, and
improvements in practical strategies for their in situ use been proposed.
This work is primarily designed for any person or organization in
charge of assessment of quality of natural resources and of pollution
prevention. It also constitutes a reference work for university and high
school students.
