Biomonitoring is the systematic measurement of biological responses to environmental contaminants, using living organisms to assess the health of ecosystems and the effects of pollutants. This technique helps in understanding ecosystem structure and function disruptions by providing insights into the presence and impact of harmful substances in the environment. By employing various organisms, biomonitoring can reveal significant information about ecosystem health, the effectiveness of environmental quality standards, and the need for monitoring programs to detect contaminants.
