| Tartalmi kivonat: | Environmental pollution led to the presence of various toxicants in the air, water, soil, food, etc. The resulting exposure of the population seldom causes overt symptoms so that the need for prevention of long-term damages is not always obvious. There are several groups of pollutants, which, like certain pesticides and heavy metals, attack the nervous system, thereby endangering the most valuable human resource. The effects of external agents on an organism, organ, or biological function can, theoretically, be detected by means of biomarkers, measurable parameters indicating internal exposure by a substance, its effect on organs or functions, or the susceptibility of the organism in question against the substance. In this paper, existing and proposed chemical-biochemical markers of certain neurotoxic pollutants are reviewed and the possibilities of developing neuro-functional markers discussed. |
