In our time, in a continuously developing industry, the issue of maintaining environmental safety is becoming more relevant than ever. The struggle for a normal ecology, which, without loud words, is vital to man, is going on more and more actively, penetrating into all spheres of human activity. But, in order to control the amount of harmful emissions from plants and factories, to assess the degree of environmental pollution, it is necessary to use more and more advanced instruments.
You can get the results of the examination by resorting to the help of an environmental laboratory. Mobile environmental laboratories are designed to control environmental pollution and damage to the environment at a certain given point in the area. A modern environmental laboratory (control laboratory) makes it possible to assess the sanitary and hygienic pollution of atmospheric air (or air in the working area), water, soil, and bottom sediments in areas where industrial enterprises are located. It is used when conducting full-scale instrumental surveys of sources of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere in order to develop standards for maximum permissible emissions, and simply for the purpose of state or departmental control. A modern mobile environmental laboratory is a unique development that allows not only to monitor the state of the environment, but also to predict and eliminate possible environmental problems in a timely manner.

1. Delivery of specialists and laboratory equipment to the place of sampling, even to the most remote areas;
2. Environmental laboratories provide prompt detection, prevention and quantitative chemical analysis of hazardous chemicals in water, soil and bottom sediments;
3. Versatility of the environmental laboratory - the possibility of additional equipment, depending on the goals and objectives;
4. The product is designed for use in various climatic zones with ambient temperatures from -40oC to +40oC;
5. A complete package of permits for registration with the traffic police.

The history of the creation of the laboratory dates back to 1987, when at the Institute of Developmental Biology. N. K. Koltsov (IBR), on the initiative of the director, academician T. M. Turpaev, an interlaboratory Creative Youth Team (TMC) was created, which implements the scientific program "pearl mussel-salmon".
After the victory of TMK in the first competition-examination of youth grants in the history of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1987), the Group of Physiology and Biology of Hydrobionts was created on the basis of the team. In 1989, the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences allocated 5 target rates and significant financial resources to the institute. The task of the Group was to study environmental and physiological foundations adaptation of aquatic animals to various environmental conditions. In 1994, after the head of the doctoral dissertation defended, the Group was transformed into the Laboratory (later in 2005, during the change of the directorate of the institute and subsequent reorganizations and optimizations in the IBR structure, the Laboratory was again transformed into a Group consisting of lab. general physiology). In 2003, IBR RAS (Director Academician N. G. Khrushchev) together with the Karelsky Institute of Biology Science Center The Russian Academy of Sciences and the White Sea fishing collective farm "Vskhody Kommunizma" established a non-profit partnership, the Research Center for Polar Ecosystems "Varzuga", which included the Laboratory of Ecology and Evolution of Biosystems.
In 2016, the laboratory staff left the IBR RAS. At present, the team works in the organizational form of LLC Laboratory of Evolution and Ecology of Biosystems, developing its scientific directions and organizing seminars and conferences on environmental and human health issues.
The main directions of fundamental scientific research are:
- (a) the study of the most interesting problem - under what conditions and how the marine fauna in the process of evolution penetrated into and developed fresh water bodies. To solve this problem, the laboratory conducts faunal studies in the Arctic regions of Russia in the estuaries of rivers flowing into the sea, under the conditions of the tidal cycle. During the period of research on this problem, the most important ecological and genetic mechanisms of the penetration of marine hydrobionts into fresh water, on the example of euryhaline fish of the Kolyushkov family. More than 40 publications have been published on this topic, including a fundamental monograph (1991) in the FAUNA USSR series.
- (b) The second important problem is to elucidate the physiological and genetic foundations of animal and human longevity. In other words, the problem is formulated as follows: why among closely related groups of animals do some species live many times longer than others? The objects of research were fish and freshwater mollusks of the naiad superfamily. More than 25 publications are devoted to elucidating the mechanisms underlying longevity, the most important of which are domestic and international articles and monographs (see the list of publications). An applied result of fundamental research was the development oncoprotector « Arctic+ » ( No. Patent 2324489).
- (c) The third activity of the laboratory was the development of principles and technologies for the protection and restoration of economically valuable species of mollusks - pearl mussels and salmon fish in the rivers of the north of Russia. More than 30 scientific reports have been published on this topic - copyright certificates, patents, monographs, articles and abstracts. Materials included in Red Book of the Russian Federation(ANIMAL: 2000: 61-69). An important practical result of this direction was scientific rationale and the subsequent organization of the pearl-salmon reserve in the Varzuga River by the fishing collective farm "Vskhody kommunizma" Murmansk region(cm. review of the Science Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation).
- The laboratory uses the methods of immunology and histology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, electrophoresis, methods of experimental morphological analysis, field methods. The laboratory is equipped with the necessary instruments and equipment: microscopes, laboratory logistics, aquatic systems, underwater cages.
- Employees carry out joint work with laboratories of the IBR and other institutes and institutions of the country (Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology (St. Petersburg), INEOS, Severtsov IPEE of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, Roskomrybolovstvo of the Russian Federation, Gosniigenetika, VNIRO , private medical centers (Moscow), CIS countries and foreign countries(USA, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Belgium, UK).
- The head of the laboratory is the President of the International Voluntary Ecological Society for the Protection of River Mollusks "SCM" (Society for the Conservation of Margaritiferidae).
The SCM society includes specialists in the field of fish and shellfish biology, professors Richard Neves (USA), Arthur Bogan (USA), William Heard (USA), Eduardo San Miguel (Spain), Klaus Wachtler (Germany), Jurgen Geist (Germany) , Torbjorn Johnson (Sweden), Jan-Erik Aslund (Sweden), Anders Dahlen (Sweden), Ilmari Valovirta (Finland), Viktor Gomelyuk (Australia), Svyatoslav Kalyuzhin (RF), Alexey Veselov (RF), Igor Mikhno (RF) . During the work of the society, dozens of field expeditions were carried out on the territory of the countries of Fennoscandia (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia), monographs and articles were published in scientific journals in the USA, Europe and Russia. Materials on biology and breeding and protection of pearl mussels were prepared and published in the International Red Book of IUCN and the Red Book of Russia (2001). Animals. pp. 61-69. Ed. AST.Astrel). The creation of pearl-salmon reserves in the Murmansk region and the province of Jamtland (northern Sweden) is substantiated.
