http://alsuyus.blogspot.com/2012/09/modern-comments-on-innovative.html

Innovative theory of ecological mechanisms of self-purification of water in freshwater and marine ecosystems.
http://alsuyus.blogspot.com/2012/09/biocontrol-of-water-quality.html

Innovative and multifaceted conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms function together toward making water clear and clean.

New method to bioassay chemicals:

A discovery of a new method for testing toxicity of chemicals. This method is especially useful to find and characterize phytotoxicity of chemicals. This method proved to be also useful to find new facts on environmental hazards of chemicals and chemical pollution of environment. Using this method a discovery was made of a new important examples of phytotoxicity of synthetic organic chemicals, exemplified by some synthetic surfactants.
