Abstract:
Biological monitoring is one of methods of water environment monitoring. By using the reaction of biological individual,population and community to environmental pollution,biomonitoring can expound the pollution state,provide monitoring data for the environmental quality assessment. The sensitivity,bio-concentration,long-term and comprehensive characteristics are advantages of biomonitoring. This paper summarized the methods of the biomonitoring used in practise,including biotic index,toxicity test,polyurethane foam unit,simultaneous determination,ecotoxicogenomics and involved single cell algae,protozoana,benthic organisms,amphibian. The shortages of the monitoring method also exist,for example,the regional limitation.
