These facts are:
Synthetic surfactants and detergents (they pollute rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, seas, oceans ) inhibited (decreased) water filtration by marine and freshwater bivalve mollusks [1-12];
It is a new environmental hazard from detergents (details see here: http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-steps-in-discovering-facts-of.html  ).

new facts discovered:  
surfactants [exemplified by the cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA)] and synthetic detergents inhibited the control of phytoplankton (Monochrystis lutheri) by marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis.
 the cationic surfactant TDTMA (1 mg/L) inhibited the filtration rate of juveniles of marine bivalves Mytilus galloprovincialis, and the removal of cells of the algae Monochrysis lutheri from water;

new facts discovered:
effect of synthetic anionic surfactant (surface active substance) sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, 4 mg/l) on the kinetics of water filtration by marine mussel Mytilus edulis was studied.
SDS can decrease the natural capacity of aquatic ecosystems for self-purification and disturb other aspects of ecosystem functioning through inhibiting the filtration activity of mussels. The obtained data are discussed in the context of environment and hydrosphere protection from pollution.
