Amphibians are a good indication beause their skin is very absorbant to chemicals and other nasties... look at it this way. U can kill a frog by touching his skin if u don't wet ur hand with his original water first. So they are very delicate creatures and if their living area becomes contaminated you can see a massive different in species and numbers. So to calculate say if a factory went up next so some wetlads or a marsh, people can take records from before it was built and compare the data to months after it was built to see if its polluting the area.
