A series of reviews of scientific articles was published recently [1 ]. These reviews explained new discoveries in ecology.
Three important innovative steps were made in ecology and the last years of the 1990s and in the first yours after 2000.
These steps were made in the series of scientific publications, starting with [ 2]. The results of the paper [2] were confirmed and extended in [3-12 ].
These are the three discoveries / innovations in the publications [ 2-12 ].
(1) Synthetic surfactants and detergents pose more environmental hazards than it was thought before.
(2) Sublethal concentrations of chemical pollutants (sublethal = less than lethal, less than killing concentrations) pose more environmental hazard than it was thought before.
(3) Chemical pollutants (such as surfactants, detergents) may decrease the very important function of aquatic ecosystems: namely, the pollutants may decrease the process of water purification by living organisms in the water.
On the basis of the new facts [2-12], Dr. S. Ostroumov formulated a new productive theory of multi-functional role of organisms in improving water quality and water self-purification [13, 14].
All of these – the three conclusions and the theory - are vital and essential to progress in ecology, environmental science, water science, aquatic toxicology, ecotoxicology.
Explanation of terminology in titles of some of these publications.
Surfactants:
surfactants are a broad class of organic chemicals that are key components of all detergents, liquid soaps, washing liquids, and shampoos, and therefore they pollute water in huge quantities;
'Mytilus edulis':
'Mytilus edulis' is the scientific Latin name for a common species of marine mollusks (mussels) that are one of most popular seafood.
