Do detergents and synthetic surfactants pose any serious hazard to environment? the Answer given by the book: Yes, they do; 2. Do all types of detergents and washing mixtures pose that hazard – including, e.g. laundry detergents and shampoos? The Answer given by the book: Yes, they do; 3. How broad is the spectrum of negative biological effects produced by surfactants and detergents? The Answer given by the book: it is really broad and covers all the organisms that were used in author’s bioassays, without any exception: from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, from unicellular to multicellular organisms, from bacteria to plants and animals. 4. Do sublethal concentrations of surfactants and detergents pose a serious hazard to the biosphere? The Answer given by the book: Yes, they do. A good example is the author’s discovery of sublethal effects of surfactants on bivalve mollusks, which lead to a decrease in filtration rate, which in turn leads to a decrease in water self-purification, which pose a serious hazard of a decrease in water quality. 5. Is it possible to offer any new efficient methods or new modifications of the current methods for bioassay of chemicals? The Answer given by the book: Yes, it is not only possible but implemented. The book contains new methods/modifications of methods which increase the efficiency of bioassay with seedlings of plants and activity of filter-feeders (Chapter 2 in the book). 6. In which countries was the book cited and proved to be useful? Answer: Belgium, Denmark, Austria, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Slovakia, and others. See the text below. 7. In which countries did some libraries acquire this book?

The mankind is still far from establishing harmonious relations with it. However, permanently progressing destruction of natural complexes by the technogenic civilization necessitates some new revolutionary approaches to their preservation. That is why it is so important to study the relationships and interactions between living organisms. One of the most important roles in this “orchestra” is played by numerous invertebrates which filter the water and improve water quality. To what degree chemical pollutants modify their capacity to do this vital ecosystems service?

The goal of this review articles is to summarize some evidence of a variety of toxic effects produced by manufactured nanoparticles, including both the data from literature and the new data of the authors (e.g., [42]). The toxicity of nanomaterials was shown both to prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. As for eukaryotic organisms, toxicity was found in bioassays with both animal and plant test systems. In further studies, it is necessary to continue the studies of various aspects of toxicity of nanoparticles, and to extend the range of organisms and test systems that are being used for assessing the biological effects of nanomaterials. The methods that were previously developed to study phytotoxicity of chemicals [15-28, 48] will be useful to generate new data on toxicology of nanomaterials.

Библиогр. 15 назв.http://www.scribd.com/doc/61655262/; В водных системах с добавленным синтетическим ПАВ додецилсульфатом натрия (SDS) в присутствии фитомассы водных растений (макрофитов OST-1) обнаружено заметное ускорение восстановления уровня поверхностного натяжения до величины, характерной для чистой воды. Это согласуется с выводом, что в присутствии макрофита ускоряется исчезновение из воды ПАВ. Результаты опыта вносят вклад в понимание роли растений в судьбе поступающих в воду поллютантов из класса синтетических ПАВ и подтверждают предположение, что растения могут использоваться для фиторемедиации сред, загрязненных ПАВ.

The rare earth elements are a key component of modern hi-technology products and they are a new component in the modern solid wastes and waste waters. This paper is an innovative and significant contribution to the database for modern environmental monitoring. ** Biodetritus that formed over a 7-month period in microcosms with Viviparus viviparus, Unio pictorum , and Ceratophyllum demersum contained a number of elements. This is the first study to determine concentrations of some elements in biodetritus. Neutron activation analysis showed that the elements’ concentrations decrease in the following order: Ca > Zn > Ba > Br > Ce > Se > Nd > La > U > Hf > Sb > Th > Sm > S > Cs > Au.
