Since 1986, Dr. S. A. Ostroumov (Moscow University) published papers that discovered environmental hazard from surfactants (detergents).
The list of his publications on that discovery are given below – see References [1].
In 2005 he published a book ‘Biological Effects of Surfactants’ [ 2 ].
At the beginning, his conclusions on hazards from synthetic surfactants were ignored.
Now they are more and more recognized and accepted.
Dr. S.A.Ostroumov won the Fulbright Award, and the Kapitsa Medal for scientific discovery.

A new evidence of a change in public opinion and attitude:
A coalition of conservation, wildlife and public health groups in the Gulf region and in Alaska filed a citizen suit under the provisions of the federal Clean Water Act …
