y Our global society needs to table down actions and set rules to evaluate
ul
5 J and considerably reduce the real and potentially hazardous factors in the
0
on environment that can, as previously stated, result in health risks for all
d forms of life (including Homo sapiens sapiens). Despite major positive con-
e

blis tributionsinthefieldofhealth,owingtotheimmenseprogressachievedin
u science, technology and industrialization, the interaction between environ-
P
mental risk and health is an often intricate equation, not self-evident, that
involvesavarietyofnotonlysocial,politicalandeconomic,butalsolifestyle
factors. This cannot be emphasized enough. Health depends on the good
quality of environmental ‘‘basic ingredients’’, such as air, water, soil and
food,amongothers.Webelievethattheultimatechallengeinthismatteris
to weigh-in short-term positive gains, while, at the same time, taking into
account long-term effects of substances used. Available information about
the toxic effects of heterogeneous xenobiotics, continuously released into
human habitats, inadvertently, deliberately, or by non-regulated industrial
discharges on biological components of the environment, is inconclusive.

environmental factors.
Many compounds can be hazardous if not used appropriately and may
present a real risk to the environment, contaminating soil, water and air.
Most of the pollutants in the different environmental compartments exert
their effects through cytotoxic, genotoxic and metabolically toxic mech-
anisms.Inpollutionstudies,thereisanincreasinginterestinbiomonitoring

end-pointsforthethreeabove-mentionedfactorshavebeenusedinaquatic
and terrestrial invertebrate and vertebrate species on contaminated areas
(insituassays)andtoscreenforxenobioticsafterdirectorindirectexposure
(in vivo assays).
The use of invertebrate and vertebrate autochthonous species as indi-
cators for monitoring pollutant-induced deleterious environmental effects
will raise the current awareness of real and potential hazards. It is also
known that most of the environmental pollutants not only affect target
organisms, but concomitantly exert negative effects on non-target species
as well.
