... Surfactants have become an indispensable silent partner in man’s day to day life as additives in food, pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetics, cleaning solutions, oil industry and in everything that foams, thereby increasing its market demand. Most often, this demand is resolved by the use of synthetic surfactants derived mainly from petroleum products. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), an anionic detergent, forms a major class of synthetic detergents widely used due to its low cost and excellent foaming properties. However, the indiscriminate use of these synthetic detergents slowly results in accumulating detrimental effects both to the ecosystem and mankind [1, 2]. SDS is found to be toxic even in picogram concentrations to aquatic flora and fauna [3]. Apart from SDS being a culprit causing allergic responses in man [4, 5], it inhibits filter feeding habits of bivalves [6], cause oxidative stress in plants [7], inhibit fertilisation in gilthead Sparus aurata L. sperm [8] and drastically effect growth and motility of alga [9]. Studies on the effect of SDS on the fish Cyprinus carpio revealed that swimming capacity was reduced 5 times and oxygen consumption increased 2.8 times in relation to the control at a concentration of 10 ppm. In general, toxic effects of SDS on swimming activity are more pronounced in smaller fish, whereas the effects on oxygen consumption is more pronounced in larger ones [10]. Loss of eye lens transparency, significant increase in lens wet weight and axial length were seen at 24 h postexposure in cultured bovine lens cells treated with 0.1–0.025 % SDS [11]. The exposure to SDS causes acute inflammatory reactions, oxidative stress and damage to mucus layer of fishes, which predispose them to microbial attack [12]. The release of secondary or tertiary sewage effluents containing the breakdown products of laundry detergents may less frequently cause effects. However, direct discharge of untreated or primary-treated effluents containing significant quantities of surfactants to waterbodies [13, 14] could lead to severe ecotoxicological problems [15, 16]. Thus, the degradation of synthetic detergents gains relevance. ...

Abstract:
Effects of several surfactants and chemical mixtures on marine bivalves were studied. An anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), and a cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA), inhibited the filtering activity of oysters (Crassostrea gigas). Similar effects were exhibited by some chemical mixtures that included surfactants. Those mixtures inhibited the filtering activity of Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus galloprovincialis. The new results are in agreement with the author's previous experiments, where a number of xenobiotics and/or pollutants inhibited the filtering activity of several species of marine and freshwater bivalves, e.g., it had been shown that SDS inhibited filtering activity of Mytilus edulis (e.g., Ostroumov, 2000c, 2001a). This experimental approach is helpful in assessment of environmental hazards from man-made chemicals that can contaminate marine systems.
