About the book entitled 'Biological Effects of Surfactants [and Detergents: Ecotoxicology]' in English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese languages: http://www.scribd.com/doc/45909268 Annotation:Understanding the role of aquatic biota and the impact of pollution and chemical
substances that enter aquatic ecosystems is crucial to the assessment,
prevention, and remediation of damaged environments.
Book “Biological Effects of Surfactants” synthesizes the most important findings from hundreds of articles and the author's current experiments on the biological effects of synthetic surfactants and detergents on individual organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems.
This book offers a new perspective of the hazards of pollution.
The book draws upon concepts in hydrobiology, biogeochemical cycling, and the
assimilative capacity of water ecosystems. A unique feature of the book is analyzing the water self-purification capabilities of biological communities and ecosystems. The book presents new and unique data on hazardous effects of anionic, non-ionic, and cationic surfactants as well as detergent mixtures on a wide range of organisms. The range of the organisms studied by the author includes bacteria, cyanobacteria, flagellates, algae, higher plants, and invertebrates.
The author, a distinguished member of the Russian Academy of
Natural Sciences, establishes new quantitative characteristics of the effects
and presents study results reflecting newly discovered phenomena. He
proposed and substantiated new priorities and approaches for testing,
assessing, and characterizing the biological activities and hazards of
substances. The new data obtained can be used to develop
effective environmental remediation and protection measures to improve water
quality.
Biological Effects of Surfactants lays an excellent foundation for
scientists to explore how hazardous wastes are absorbed in aquatic and
terrestrial ecosystems, determine what is required for remediation and restoring
water quality, and design the best approach to counteract the toxic effects of
manmade surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions) : how to use the book and relevant papers on detergents and surfactants.
A book on surfactants and detergents (entitled: Biological Effects of Surfactants, publisher: CRC Press, USA) was published.
Frequently asked questions on the book and how to use it.
Question: I bioassay chemicals. How can I use the book?
Answer: You will find some new methods for bioassaying (Chapter 2) and how to apply them (Chapters 3, 4, 5…).
Question: I am involved in assessing environmental risk from chemicals, pollutants and xenobiotics. Can I find useful things in the book?
Answer: yes, there are two useful things for you. First, you will find additional criteria for assessing biological effects of chemicals, which helps to see some important new aspects of environmental hazards and risks. Second, you will find new information that leads to seeing environmental risk from synthetic surfactants and detergents.
Question: If I study and teach the issues of organic chemicals which are pollutants and xenobiotics, how can I use the book?
Answer: in the book, you will find a new addition to the list of hazardous organic chemicals that pollute the environment, and new experimental data in support of adding those chemicals to the list.
Question: Is the book relevant to some issues of water quality?
Answer: Yes, the chemicals that were analyzed in the book contribute to water pollution.
Question: I study and teach plant sciences. Is the book of use to me and my students and co-workers?
Answer: Yes, the book contain new methods of bioassay of phytotoxicity, and many new examples of discovery and quantitative studies of phytotoxicities.
Question: Which species of higer plants were studied in the book?
