Toxicity of surfactants to aquatic algae:

hazardous effect of a synthetic non-ionic surfactant (exemplified by  Triton X-100) on  diatom algae:

Toxicity of surfactants to  soil algae:

Surfactants, soil algae: first publication to report unique bioassay of synthetic surfactants using soil algae. Also, first publication to report  juxtaposition of results of 3 methods of assessment of toxicity of chemical: methods that use (1) plant seedlings; (2) aquatic algae cultures; (3) soil algal cultures

Toxicity of surfactants, detergents to higher plants:

First paper to report new phytotoxic effects of a liquid detergent. Before this paper,  no phytotoxic effects of liquid detergents were known.  New phytotoxic effects of  liquid detergent "Vilva" on seedlings of higher plants, buckweat Fagopyrum esculentum and  rice Oryza sativa

A discovery of a 
new method to do the bioassay of chemicals; discovery of a new form of phytotoxicity of chemicals, exemplified by some synthetic surfactants:
