Environment toxicology innovations: useful to scientists, professors, students
Until this book was published, there was an underestimation of the environmental hazards from surfactants and mixture products that contain surfactants. The mixture products are shampoos, dish washing liquids, laundry detergents, and many other products.
The book contains a huge body of new experimental data obtained by the author in his innovative experiments. The author has been working for 20 years carrying out his experiments in four countries: the U.S.A., U.K., Russia, and Ukraine. He studied aquatic organisms in fresh waters, in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea.
The range of the organisms studied is extremely broad: bacteria, cyanobacteria, algae, flagellates, higher plants, invertebrates. Not only aquatic organisms but also some terrestrial species were used as test-organisms to bioassay surfactants and detergents. The seedlings of terrestrial plants were used in many of these experiments.
The author developed and modified many useful methods for bioassay. Some of these methods have a colossal practical value. E.g., new modifications of the methods for testing chemicals with plant seedling. The author invented an amazingly efficient method of measuring 'arbitrary average length' of the seedlings. This method is much more efficient and productive than the traditional measuring of the average length.
The author conducted a great number of experiments with mollusks. Both freshwater and marine mollusks were studied. One of vital discoveries described in the book was his discovery of the new important fact: the surfactants of all main chemical types inhibit the filtration rate of both freshwater and marine mollusks.
The book is of great value to experts, scientists, professors, and students in many areas of science, including the following areas:environmental science, environmental toxicology, ecotoxicology, ecology, zoology, experimental botany, limnology, biological oceanography, microbiology, algology, hydrobiology, marine science, aquatic science, and some others.
Rating: excellent.
