Remarkable advances in analytical chemistry now make it possible to measure minute levels of both natural and synthetic compounds in human tissue and body fluids. This "biomonitoring" allows researchers to determine more precisely than ever the degrees to which individuals have been exposed to specific chemicals in the environment, and how exposures change over time.

Flawed Analysis Block Official Release of CDC Study
In the 1990s, an international team of scientists discovered a method to hatch microscopic animals from eggs more than a century old. The eggs were extracted from the remains of zooplankton collected from lake sediment and hatched in an incubator. The zooplankton subsequently grew to maturity. This feat of perpetual reproduction, which has come to be known as “resurrection ecology,” is revolutionizing the study of evolution.
