Environmental protection andgreen agenda” was held in Baku(Azerbaijan). At the Symposium Dr. Sergey V. Kholodkevich delivered an invited presentation entitled: "Monitoring the toxicity of naturaland treatedwastewater based on biomarkers of cardio-activity of river crayfishor shellfish".
Symposium bore a status of an official preparatory event as sanctioned by the Government of Azerbaijan on the eve of the UN Climate Conference"COP29" to be heldin Baku from November 11-22, 2024.
Symposium was well attended by almost 200 participants (attendees and speakers) from over 25 countries world-wide, like: Azerbaijan, China, Russia,India, Kazakhstan, Iran,Turkey, France, Georgia.

Under his scientificsupervision the first fiber-opticsensor of the physiological activity for invertebrates with a rigidouter cover, and on its basis a new class of remoteautomated bioelectronic systems for industrialbiomonitoring of water qualityin realtime was developed, allowing for an early diagnosis andprompt warning ofthreats to the toxicity of water from a centralized watersupply source andtreated wastewater in a large city. A technology has also been developed to assess the state (health) of ecosystems based on biomarkers of cardio-activity and behavior of crustaceans and mollusks.
