Use Rodents as an Indicator of Environmental Pollution
Journal Title: World Journal of Agriculture and Soil Science - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Human is one of the biggest factors that cause pollution in the environment at the local or global level. At the local level, the impact of man is confined to the small environment surrounding it. On the global level, the effect of human pollution of the atmosphere resulting in global climate change. Therefore, rodents can be used as a biological indicator to assess the damage caused to the environment as a result of exposure to pollution factors that cause imbalance in the environment and affected by humans, plants and animals.
