Biological Effects of Surfactants (CRC Press)
by S.A. Ostroumov
Comment from the internet site: www.chipsbooks.com/biosurfc.htm
Biological Effects of Surfactants lays an excellent foundation for scientists to explore how hazardous wastes are absorbed in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
Features:
* Publishes new results from the author's research and gleans the most important findings from over 20 years of research including 80 of his articles
* Reveals new data on the biological effects of synthetic surfactants and detergents upon organisms in aquatic ecosystems
* Obtains data useful for selecting relatively tolerant organisms for purposes of bio- and phytoremediation and restoration of...

My view is that if we protect the natural mechanism for self-purification of water, it will save a part of our effort and energy in doing technological treatment / cleaning of water. To protect the natural mechanism, we need to know it better . The results of our studies of the mechanism (applying what I called 'inhibitory analysis') are in the papers, which are presented at the sites: 1. Ostroumov S. A.

Among the new facts that were discovered, my research that was done in several laboratories in three countries demonstrated that the inhibition of water filtration by surfactants and detergents was a typical response of a broad spectrum of filter–feeders including both marine and freshwater bivalves. Filtration activity of invertebrates is a component of the contribution of aquatic biota to water self-purification.

By excreting some massive amount of organic matter in the form of pellets, the gastropod mollusks drive the transfer of organic matter and contribute to the biogeochemical flows of chemical elements in aquatic ecosystems. For the first time, the quantitative assessment of the biogeochemical flows was made. Also, for the first time, it was discovered that a synthetic chemical may inhibit those flows. The pellet excretion by the...
Our experiments led to fundamentally new vision of priorities in how to deal with environmental problems of chemical pollution . We have found new facts on serious hazards from synthetic chemicals including detergents. It is important that a broader number of people know these new results. I would like to make available the references to a book and related papers that are of interest to those who are interested in applied and aquatic ecology, biological aspects of environmental sciences, in bioassays of chemicals.
