TL;DR: This manuscript brings together some of the leaders in this field to allow the standardization of methods and procedures for adapting a multistage approach to a methodology that can be applied to a variety of cell biological questions or used within a clinical setting for disease screening or diagnosis.

TL;DR: The applicability of IR spectroscopy to detect subtle changes in target biological molecules within sentinel organisms along with its low-cost yet high-throughput potential suggests that biospectroscopy permits real-time evaluation of environmental exposure effects.

TL;DR: Attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy detected alterations in tissues of the African catfish from the region that were similar to those induced by benzo[a]pyrene in MCF-7 cells.

TL;DR: Biospectroscopy is an emerging inter-disciplinary field that exploits the application of sensor technologies to lend novel insights into biological questions, and approaches herald a new greener means of environmental health monitoring in urban environments.

TL;DR: Evidence of the IR spectroscopy techniques' sensitivity and potential application in environmental biomonitoring is provided and PAH contamination could be occurring at the pristine site, based on theIR spectra and significant differences between sites.
