key words: ecology, environmental science, ecotoxicology, water quality, pollution control, water resources, benthos, plankton, limnology, biological oceanography, ecosystem health, ecosystem services;

new facts discovered in this article: synthetic surfactants and detergents can slow down the processes of water filtration by bivalves;

new concepts formulated in the articles:
(1) almost all groups of aquatic organisms, all biodiversity of water-inhabiting 
organisms are involved in natural mechanisms of improving water quality (self-purification);

(2) the natural function of aquatic ecosystem in performing the process of water purification is not a constant parameter; it is vulnerable to negative effects of chemical pollution; chemical pollutants (exemplified by synthetic surfactants and detergents) can slow down the natural processes of self-purification
