    摘要: A method of monitoring an air atmosphere for a harmful biological or chemical agent includes providing a plurality of mammalian respiratory airway epithelial cells borne on a porous support; contacting the porous support with a cell nutrient medium and with air by positioning said porous support at an air-liquid interface between the cell nutrient liquid and the air; sampling the air atmosphere to thereby create an air flow over the air-liquid interface so that the respiratory epithelial cells borne on the porous silicone support are contacted by the sampled air; and monitoring the respiratory epithelial cells for at least one physiological parameter indicating the cells have been exposed to the harmful agent.

    摘要: A novel method for assessing the health of an ecosystem is provided. The method comprises measuring the levels of a plurality of physiological parameters of a nonhuman organism living in the ecosystem and determining whether the organism is healthy or physiologically stressed based on the levels of the tested physiological parameters. To the extent that the organism is physiologically stressed, the results of the measurement are employed to assess the type and degree of stress occurring in the ecosystem.
