The Important Terms of Marine Pollution "Biomarkers and Biomonitoring,Bioaccumulation, Bioconcentration, Biomagnification"

Abstract

The various activities of human beings affect adversely all environments where the plants, the animals and the humans live [1]. The numbers of chemicals which are the most important group of environmental pollution were limited to a few thousand until the beginning of this century and the majority part of that was constituted by plants, animals and mineral origin accounted for natural ingredients. The production of the chemicals which were 7 million tons in 1950 is estimated to reach 400 million tons today. On the one hand consists of hazards, on the other hand increasing quantities of usage of requirements for the modern living that has increased the importance of the determination of threshold limits of chemicals before and after the production [2]. The marine pollution is one of the most important parts of ecotoxicology. The term 'ecotoxicology' was first introduced by the toxicologist Prof. Truhaut in the late 1960s, when it was considered a sub-discipline of medical toxicology. Since then, ecotoxicology has developed into a scientific discipline in its own right, describing not only effects of exposure to chemicals and radiation, but also the environmental fate of contaminants [3].
