A formation of Local Parity Breaking (LPB) in central heavy-ion collisions (HIC) at high energies is discussed. LPB in the fireball can be produced by a difference between the number densities of right- and left-handed chiral fermions (Chiral Imbalance) which is implemented by a chiral (axial) chemical potential. Based on the effective meson Lagrangian motivated by QCD in the chiral medium the properties of light scalar and pseudoscalar mesons (π, a 0) are analyzed. It is found that exotic decays of scalar mesons arise as a result of mixing of π and a 0 vacuum states in the presence of chiral imbalance. The pion electromagnetic formfactor obtains a parity-odd supplement which generates a photon polarization asymmetry in pion polarizability. We believe that the above-mentioned properties of LPB can be revealed in experiments on LHC, RHIC, CBM FAIR and NICA accelerators.
