Abstract

The paper presents analysis of the current state of the biogeochemical indication of the status of heavy metals and vital trace elements in various environmental objects in relation to physiological reactions of organisms. Aspects of the application of different methods of phyto- and zooindications are assessed, and integral techniques are reviewed that are based on the use of homogeneous living matter and molecular biogeochemical markers for the purposes of ecological monitoring of the environment at various anthropogenic impacts.
