Biomonitoring involves the use of organisms to assess environmental contamination, such as of surrounding air or water.It can be done qualitatively by observing and noting changes in organisms, or quantitatively by measuring accumulation of chemicals in organism tissues.
monitoring and assessing aquatic species (incl. plants, animals, and bacteria) monitoring the behavior of certain aquatic species and assessing any changes in species behavior analyzing the biochemical make-up of the waterbody, and its potential influence on the species that depend on it.
A biological monitor or biomonitor is an organism that provides quantitative information on the quality of the environment around it. [4] Therefore, a good biomonitor will indicate the presence of the pollutant and can also be used in an attempt to provide additional information about the amount and intensity of the exposure.
The biological monitoring working party (BMWP) is a procedure for measuring water quality using families of macroinvertebrates as biological indicators. [ 1 ] The method is based on the principle that different aquatic invertebrates have different tolerances to pollutants .
The Southern African Scoring System (SASS) method is a biological water quality monitoring system based on the presence of benthic macroinvertebrates (EPT). The SASS aquatic biomonitoring tool has been refined over the past 30 years and is now on the fifth version (SASS5) which has been specifically modified in accordance with international ...

Biological ablation: Used to remove a biological structure or functionality: Genetics, Physiology: Calcium imaging: Used to optically measure the status of calcium ions (Ca 2+) in an isolated cell, tissue or medium: Physiology: Cell isolation: Process of separating individual living cells from a solid block of tissue or cell suspension: Cell ...
Bioanalysis is a sub-discipline of analytical chemistry covering the quantitative measurement of xenobiotics (drugs and their metabolites, and biological molecules in unnatural locations or concentrations) and biotics (macromolecules, proteins, DNA, large molecule drugs, metabolites) in biological systems.
