We consider the electromagnetic P-odd interaction produced between an electron and a nucleus by parity-violating nuclear forces. New information on these forces can be obtained even now by experimentally investigating the optical activity of heavy atoms and diatomic molecules. In the case of the deuteron, the P-odd vector potential is expressed in terms of parameters that characterize parity violation in np scattering.
