Abstract

Biomonitoring should act as an early warning system providing information about the seriousness of the pollution by sensitive assays, especially for existing potential genotoxic problem assessment, since most polluting substances have shown genotoxic effect. A further consideration is that changes in the DNA fingerprints obtained may be used to identify target genes for particular genotoxic agents. Characterisation of these DNA molecules using DNA sequencing techniques may enable the identification of specific sequences that are hotspots for mutation by particular agents; this will open up possibilities of designing specific assays for detection of specific agents and may help explain the presence in the genome of preferential mutation points.
