The term "accreditation" applies to the attempts in various fields of scientific work and administration. It refers to an acknowledgement of some particular positive (wanted) property being present in or brought about by either a procedure or technical system, an acknowledgement which is then formally issued by some authority generally accepted to be able to prove and file such statements. Bioindication & Biomonitoring (B&B) technologies are highly influenced by accreditation procedures, because both B&B technologies are often related to accreditation during the overall instrumental measurement processes applied. As an example, tuna fish used for (bio) monitoring salt water systems on pollution by Pb will be presented. Analytical measurement results from the International Measurement Evaluation Programme (IMEP 20) and additionally the construction of the university course "Integrative sustainable management: quality, environmental, health, safety and risk management (QUAR)" are reviewed in this respect. It was a serious finding by the multi-participant IMEP study that neither quality control measures nor accreditation actually ensure improved quality of measurement results, i.e. data produced by analytical laboratories. Accordingly, even though the accreditation of study curricula is often done with utmost diligence and precision, and while it is fairly important for making study curricula throughout Europe (and the World) fitting and comparable to each other to get study results produced and tested at university X also be accepted when changing to university Y, we cannot assume or take for granted that the mere protocol of accreditation will do anything positive to improve the chance to get better or "more correct" results. A single member of lab staff or professor changing to some other position might seriously compromise the turnout of some analytical lab or university course at least in the short term regardless of whether accreditation was done or not. As consequence, data obtained by B&B technologies have to be discussed and handled with the highest care to reach acceptable and scientifically sound goals of quality.

For a number of years “classical” programs for environmental monitoring are being supplemented by bioindication measures. Investigations on living organisms or their remains (e.g. peat) are used to indicate the environmental situation in either qualitative (bioindication) or quantitative (biomonitoring) terms. This provides pieces of information on environmental burdens of a region at a given point of time or on its changes with time (trend analysis). Classical bioindication often deals with observation and measurements of chemical noxae (both inorganic and organic ones) in well-defined bio-indicator plants or animals (including man). In terms of analytical procedures and results there are parallel developments between progresses in bioindication and innovation in analytical methods. After some 30 years of development in bioindication there are now the following newer lines for further development: 1) more frequent inclusion of multi-element total analyses for a thorough investigation of mutual correlations in the sense of the Biological System of Elements; 2) more work on (analytical) speciation issues to proceed into real effect-oriented environmental sciences; and 3) there should and must be a focus on integrative bioindication methods because for a large number of environmental monitoring problems a single bioindicator will not provide any meaningful information: a single bioindicator is about as good as none at all. Integrative concepts such as the Multi-Markered Bioindication Concept (MMBC) provide basic means to get into precautionary environmental protection effects drawing upon such a second-generation bioindication methodology. The selected case studies in Lithuania illiustrate some new aspects for the development of integrative bioindication consept. Santrauka Jau keletą metų „klasikinės“ aplinkos stebėjimo programos yra papildomos bioindikacinėmis priemonėmis. Atliekami gyvųjų organizmų arba jų liekanų (pvz., durpių) tyrimai, siekiant nustatyti aplinkos būklę kokybiniu (bioindikacija) arba kiekybiniu (biostebėsena) požiūriu. Taip gáunama informacijos apie regiono aplinkos problemas tam tikru metu arba aplinkos pokyčius laikui bėgant (tendencijų analizė). Taikant klasikinę bioindikaciją dažnai stebimos ir organinės, ir neorganinės cheminės medžiagos, matuojamos jų koncentracijos tiksliai nustatytuose bioindikatoriniuose augaluose arba gyvūnuose (taip pat ir žmogaus organizme). Kalbant apie analizines procedūras ir rezultatus, pastebimos panašios bioindikatorių tobulinimo ir naujų analizinių metodų plėtojimo tendencijos. Bioindikacijos plėtrai vykstant jau beveik 30 metų, išskirtinos tam tìkros tolesnės plėtotės tendencijos: 1) atliekant išsamius elementų biologinės sistemos tarpusavio sąsajų tyrimus dažniau pasirenkama kelių elementų bendroji analizė; 2) daugiau dirbama (analizinis darbas) sprendžiant naujų rūšių atsiradimo klausimus siekiant pereiti prie aplinkos mokslų, nukreiptų į tikrąjį poveikį; 3) daugiau dėmesio skiriama kompleksiniams bioindikaciniams metodams, nes esant daugybei aplinkos stebėsenos problemų, pavienis bioindikatorius daug vertingos informacijos neteikia. Kompleksinės koncepcijos, pavyzdžiui, daugiaženklės bioindikacijos koncepcija, remdamosi antrosios kartos bioindikacijos metodika, numato paprastų aplinkos apsaugos prevencijos priemonių. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiami tyrimų, atliktų Lietuvoje, pavyzdžiai iliustruoja kelis naujus aspektus formuojant kompleksinę bioindikacijos koncepciją.
