Biomonitors and biomarkers combined with chemical monitoring offer, it will be learned, the best approach to making these assessments. The purpose of this book was the same as that of Volume I, to docu ment recent developments and applications in biomonitor and biomarker research. The second volume builds on the first (Butterworth et aI., eds., 1995, Biomonitors and Biomarkers as Indicators of Environmental Change, Plenum Publishing, New York) with a compilation of methods enriching the list of possible monitoring systems. The book is intended for researchers who want to incorporate newer and different technologies in their development of specifically-crafted monitors; students who are learning the field of biomonitoring [Note: the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is planning to use both volumes in a newly-organized course on biomonitoring]; and regulatory agencies that want to consider newer technologies to replace inadequate and less powerful test regimes. The book resulted from a symposium of the same title that was held (May 19-22, 1998) as part of the annual conference of the International Association of Great Lakes Research held at the McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. As in the first conference and volume, we searched for systems that would go beyond bioaccumulation of specific pollutant chemicals and their toxic effects on individuals, populations, and communities. We sought candidate biomonitor/ biomarker systems that included a range of endpoints in a variety of laboratory and sentinel organisms and systems exhibiting high reliability, short turn-around time and low cost. There was also a need to detect atmospheric pollution, to use plant test systems, and to apply molecular biotechnology to the construction of bio markers and biomonitors. There were two major changes over the first volume: one section completely devoted to on-line/automated biomonitoring and another section devoted to recombinogenesis offering new methods and applications. In both cases we sought expertise from Europe. v vi PREFACE The objectives for the conference and this book were to: facilitate an exchange of ideas and knowledge on state-of-the-art biomonitoring methods and applications; develop associations between laboratories in signatory countries of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) where there will be challenges of increased pollution in already threatened ecosystems; and introduce researchers of the Great Lakes, the greatest natural water resource in North America, to the benefits of recent environmental monitoring technology. Outcomes of the first volume led to at least two river monitoring projects in Canada and Mexico. In the Canadian project the late Robbin Hough and Carl Freeman, authors in the first volume, instituted with the aid of the First Nation, an automated chemical and biological monitoring system on Walpole Island in the delta of the St. Clair River in Ontario. The Mexican project is a chemical and biomonitoring regime on the heavily industrialized Zahuapan River watershed in Tlaxcala State, Mexico led by Alfredo Delgado with the aid of Rafael Villalobos and Sandra Gomez authors in the first volume. With the success of these projects it is realistic to expect that even more projects will result form the current volume. Although the systems described in these proceedings were not meant to be exhaustive, they do offer interesting insights, ingenious applications, and oppor tunities to combine these to form powerful monitoring suites that will be able to detect and also define pollution effects in biological terms. We are grateful to the International Association for Great Lakes Research and McMaster University for their help in establishing the symposium and providing resources and facilities at the conference, and to Patricia Ramirez for her valuable help in the final prepara tion of the manuscripts for publication.
