The effect of synthetic anionic surface active substance (SAS) sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS,
4 mg/l) on the kinetics of water filtration by marine bivalve mollusks, mussel Mytilus edulis,was studied. A suspension of phytoplanktonic algae Isochrysis galbana was added to the beaker with the mussels, and their filtration ...

Explanation of terminology:
amphiphilic substance = surfactant = surface active substance
Explanation of why this paper is relevant:
This paper provided new facts which are a clear convincing evidence that chemical contaminants (exemplified by a synthetic anionic surfactant SDS) decrease water filtration by aquatic organisms (exemplified by mussels). This decrease is a serious hazard to the natural ecological self-purification of water. More detailed explanation of importance of the series of publications of this author see at:
