Biomarker-Based Analysis for Contaminants in Sediments/Soil: Review of Cell-Based Assays and cDNA Arrays

Abstract

This technical note reviews the existing technology for cell-based biomarker assays and cDNA arrays and explores their potential as rapid, sensitive, and low-cost tools for sediment/soil toxicity screening. The current project extends the application of biomarker-based assays initiated in Technical Note DOER-C1 for dioxins and related compounds to additional sediment/soil contaminants and contaminant modes of action (U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station 1998).
