Abstract

For a long time, people used to check a biological response toward toxic species. Masses of fish perishing in winter or the leaves turning yellow in summer were interpreted as signs of the potential danger for living beings caused by water or soil contaminants. In the nineteenth century, canaries were used in coal mining as early warning systems to prevent poisoning with carbon monoxide, methane and other noxious gases accumulated in the coal mines.
