5. This paper formulated a fundamentally new solution to the problem of selecting criteria for identification and assessing environmental hazards of chemical pollutants, toxicants.
The paper explains why the currently accepted set of criteria is non-efficient and leads to mistakes;

Before this paper:
The list of criteria to indentify environmental hazards from a given chemical or man-made factor was incomplete and unstructured, shapeless, almost chaotic. Because the list of the criteria was incomplete, its application was sometimes non-efficient in identifying hazards of pollutants. As a result, some chemicals were wrongly considered as non-dangerous to the health of environment.
After this paper:
The list of the criteria became more stuctured, well-organized. New criteria were included. The list became more objective. As a result, this systen of criteria led to identification of new environmental hazards from specific chemicals.
