Discovery: pollutant (surfactant) inhibits water filtration by daphnia   ;
Rating: excellent.

by Professor K.

This is a first paper to report the discovery: chemical pollutant (a surfactant) decreases the water filtration by zooplankton, namely, daphnia. This toxic effect took place at a relatively low concentration of the chemical (a surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate, or SDS). This discovery is in agreement with the previous publications and discoveries of Dr. Sergei Ostroumov (Moscow State University). His previous research demonstrated that the same chemical pollutant decreased (inhibited) water filtration by some other water invertebrate animals, namely, bivalve mollusks. The new discovery is important. The new fact demonstrated a new hazard from the chemical pollutants even at their low concentrations.
The new fact confirmed the conclusions of the previous publications of Dr. S. Ostroumov. The new data added additional evidence on serious environmental hazards from synthetic surfactants. These chemicals pollute water ecosystems.

Conclusion: This paper presented important new facts. These facts are really relevant. The publication is of outstanding interest to many scientists who study ecology, environmental pollution, environmental toxicology, aquatic ecotoxicology. I recommend this excellent article.
