In modern conditions, urban development is impossible without concentration of population, industry and transport in a limited area. The environmental pollution reaches such proportions that the positive effect of keeping emission of pollutants at the level of the MPC is leveled by number of pollution sources, their concentration in a limited area and the synergistic effect of the pollutants on human health. There is a need to assess the quality of the urban environment. This is especially important inside city blocks. Residential areas are separated from industrial by sanitary protection zones, but road transport easily penetrates into a residential area and its emissions affect public health. The methods of bioindication is a quick, affordable and cheap way to assess the quality of the environment. Bioindication methods are also a reliable source for determining the integral indicator of the biospheric compatibility of urban areas.
