Dear colleagues!

We are glad to invite you to XI International Symposium on Bioindicators "Problems of today in bioindication and biomonitoring", which will be held in Syktyvkar (Komi Republic, Russia) between 17 and 21 of September 2001. Scientific Committee proposes to discuss some problems, concerning to prognostication and estimation of environmental conditions on the bases of bioindication and biomonitoring data. Wide range of questions about new bioindication methods, including new distant methods, biomonitoring of radioactive, chemical and combined contamination will be considered during Symposium.
We hope for your active participation in Symposium and will be glad to welcome you in Syktyvkar - the capital of Komi Republic.
