环境标本库是环境科学基础设施的重要组成部分。它们具有各种功能：（1）评估政府的环境决策和法规;（2）动物健康评估资源;（3）研究生态系统时间趋势的研究工具;（4）检测时间趋势中新出现的化学物质;（5）验证环境现象的计算机模型;（6）污染物的来源识别;（7）食品安全工具;（8）评价环境变化引起的遗传选择压力。在这篇评论文章中，我们提出了一个详细的描述京都大学人体标本库（历史，协议和问卷），并提供其他代表性的环境标本库的简要概述。然后，我们审查了两个说明性的情况下，环境标本库已公布的多溴二苯醚和全氟辛酸的潜在污染。最后展望了未来20年环境标本库的新功能。
Environmental specimen banks are an essential part of the infrastructure of environmental sciences. They have various functions: (1) evaluation of governmental environmental policy-making and regulations; (2) a resource for animal health evaluation; (3) research tools to investigate time trends in ecosystems; (4) detection of newly emerging chemicals in the time trends; (5) validations of computer models for environmental phenomena; (6) source identification of contaminants; (7) a tool for food safety; (8) evaluation of genetic selection pressure due to environmental changes. In this review paper, we present a detailed description of the Kyoto University Human Specimen Bank (history, protocol and questionnaires) and provide brief outlines of other representative environmental specimen banks. We then review two illustrative cases in which environmental specimen banks have unveiled insidious contaminations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers and perfluorooctanoic acids. Finally, we give a perspective of new functions for environmental specimen banks in the next 20 years.
