Biological markers in environmental health research. Committee on Biological Markers of the National Research Council

Abstract

These groups will evaluate the status of bio- logical markers for specific biological systems: markers of reproductive and developmental effects, with an em- phasis on neurodevelopmental effects; pulmonary system markers of exposure, effects, and susceptibilities; markers of immunological changes as they relate to cancer, including childhood cancer; and markers of ecological toxicity, including markers of ecosystem exposure and altered processes.
