Abstract: Two closely related topological phenomena are studied at finite density and temperature. These are chiral anomaly and Chern-Simons term. By using different methods it is shown that $m{u}^2=m^2$ is the crucial point for Chern-Simons at zero temperature. So when $m{u}^2<m^2$ $mu$--influence disappears and we get the usual Chern-Simons term. On the other hand when $m{u}^2>m^2$ the Chern-Simons term vanishes because of non-zero density of background fermions. It is occurs that the chiral anomaly doesn't depend on density and temperature. The connection between parity anomalous Chern-Simons and chiral anomaly is generalized on finite density. These results hold in any dimension as in abelian, so as in nonabelian cases.
