The study deals with the assessment of environmental indicators relevant to the quality of life which can be monitored and easily measured. Bioindicators is new generation indicator which is other than the core indicators (subsets) developed and used by the OECD for issues such as toxic contamination, land and soil resources, and urban environmental quality. Indicators can also provide a framework for collecting and reporting information within nations and for reporting national data to such international bodies as the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. A bioindicator is a living organism that gives us an indication of the health of an ecosystem which include biological processes, species, or communities and can be plants, animals or microorganisms. Each organic entity inside a biological system provides an indication regarding the health of its surroundings .They are also a method of monitoring the negative impacts that industrial activity has on the environment. This information helps develop strategies that will prevent or lower such effects and make industry more sustainable. The role of bioindicators in sustainable development will help ensure that industry leaves the smallest footprint possible on the environment.
