First paper to clearly prove that
the synthetic chemical (surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS), when it pollutes water, produces dangerous effect on bivalve marine mollusks,  mussels (Mytilus edulis). This species of mollusks is a commercially important source of seafood. This species is one of key objects of aquaculture (aqua-farming).

This chemical is a representative of a broad class of organic chemicals called surfactants or surface active agents. The surfactants are the main components of all washing liquids and powders, including laundry detergents, shampoos, dish-washing liquids, and many other foam-producing and washing chemical products.
The paper proved that this pollutant causes a significant inhibition of water filtration rate by the bivalve mollusks, which is bad  for the aquatic ecosystem health.
Also, as a result, a disbalance in ecological interactions may occur, an a dangerous increase in
 phytoplankton.
