Description The Toxics-Focused Biological Observing System (TBiOS) is a biologically based framework for toxics monitoring and research that assesses exposure and effects of chemical contaminants in biota, integrated across ecologically relevant habitats and food webs. This concept paper provides a general description of TBiOS, its relationship to current and future monitoring in Puget Sound, and its relevance to the management and assessment questions raised by the Puget Sound Partnership and related organizations.
