Evaluating the efficiency of biomarkers for people exposed to environmental pollution............... Tawfiq M. Almsatar, Mohamed F. Alhamali Azytouna University-Libya ................ Abstract:........ Environmental toxins are a significant impact on human health, and are a major source of disease. Studies indicate that the environment contributes significantly to the incidence of cancerous diseases (i.e. about 80-90%), therefor, assessing the health risks related to exposure to environmental toxins is significantly important. Biomarkers refer to a variety of signs, or measurements, which used to evaluate the general health and vital status of people, those exposed to environmental pollution. Therefore, biological indicators are valuable tools for assessing the presence and effects of environmental toxins on individuals exposed to pollution. There are different types of biomarkers, which used, such as blood and urine tests, hair and nail analysis, breathing and saliva tests, and genetic markers, that could use to evaluate environmental toxins. Evaluating these indicators helps in understanding the health status and general situation of individuals, and society. This study aims to emphasize the importance of biological indicators in evaluating health risks related to environmental toxins and enhancing the concept of integrating exposure to environmental toxins with the health impact on individuals exposed to pollution. The analytical and descriptive analysis of the most important vital indicators for people exposed to environmental pollution, and the difference in their uses, in addition, to the impacts of pollutant on exposed people, are used. Further, this study concluded that exposure to air, water, and food pollutants is associated with significant changes in the functions of the respiratory system, and that decreased ovaries and myomas, furthermore, air pollution affect females exposed to air pollution is also linked to decreased sperm concentration and movement, which affects male fertility. Pollution also causes endocrine disorders by mimicking the hormone estrogen, affecting reproductive health and pregnancy. As a result, analysis of the efficacy of biomarkers is useful in assessing environmental toxicants and in predicting potential health risks in people exposed to environmental pollution. It has hoped that this review would shed light for further studies and research............... Keywords: Evaluation of Pollution efficiency, Biomarkers, Toxicology.
