Sensoristic approach to biological damage and risk assessment

摘要

A review is proposed of various types of sensoristic approaches to biological damage and risk assessment. The traditional approach to the toxicity evaluation of a matrix based on the determination of toxic concentration is replaced by a sensoristic one. Some sensors that are able to detect risky and dangerous situations and to evaluate them by screening and marker procedures are presented. The marker indexes we propose are total organic carbon, total radicalic concentration, integral toxicity and ecopermanence.
