**Question: Who is the author of the book?Answer: the author is a Fulbright Awardee, an active research scientist at Moscow State University; he did some parts of the work described in the book in various countries, including not only Russia but also the U.S.A. and U.K.**Question: Could you please give me a one-line summary of the book?Answer:
environmental toxicology of detergents, surfactants - a unique review plus new facts, new ideas;**Question: Where I can read more about this book? Is any additional information available online free?Book cover, abstract, contents, list of reviews:

At this site you can have a look at the first pages of all chapters of the book, free: http://www.crcnetbase.com/isbn/9780849325267**Question: How broad is the application and use of surfactants in real life?Answer: It is really very broad. The annual global production of surfactants is more than 13 million metric tons. See more detail: http://www.scribd.com/doc/98744711/Use-of-Surfactants-and-Hazards-From-Them;**Question: I bioassay chemicals. How can I use the book?Answer: You will find some new methods for bioassaying /testing (Chapter 2) and how to apply them (Chapters 3, 4, 5…).**Question: I am involved in assessing environmental risk from chemicals, pollutants and xenobiotics. Can I find any useful things in the book?Answer: yes, there are two useful things for you. First, you will find additional criteria for assessing biological effects of chemicals, which helps to see some important new aspects of environmental hazards and risks. Second, you will find new information that leads to seeing environmental risk from synthetic surfactants and detergents.**Question: If I study and teach the issues of organic chemicals which are pollutants and xenobiotics, how can I use the book?Answer: in the book, you will find a new addition to the list of hazardous organic chemicals that pollute the environment, and new experimental data in support of adding those chemicals to the list.**Question: Is the book relevant to any issues of water quality?Answer: Yes, the chemicals that were analyzed in the book contribute to water pollution.**Question: I study and teach plant sciences. Is the book of any use to me and my students and co-workers?Answer: Yes, the book contain new methods for bioassay of phytotoxicity, and many new examples of discovery and quantitative studies of phytotoxicities.**Question: If a person is involved in aquaculture/ aquafarming, will he find something useful in the book?Answer: Yes, this person will find some new information in the book. In chapters 3 - 6, the author presents his new results - information about the most important species of bivalves (shellfish) that are being used in aquaculture. These species are edible mollusks of high dietary value - marine mussels and oysters.**Question: Are there any new innovations in fundamental science?Answer: Yes, there are several such innovations. E.g., a basis is created for a new fundamental paradigm on stability and sustainability in ecosystems - as exemplified by aquatic ecosystems.**Question: I do my research on invertebrates. Also, I teach courses on zoology and animal science. Does the book contain some new information in those areas?Answer: yes, the book includes new data that were obtained by the author on several animal species: aquatic invertebrates (mollusks and leeches). Unique new information is presented: how some xenobiotics produce negative effects on behavior, feeding and other functions of invertebrates.**Question: My area – aquatic ecology, both freshwater and marine science. In those fields, is there something new and relevant in this book?Answer: yes, the book contains some new data that were obtained when the author conducted his research on freshwater and marine species. As for the marine system studied, the author did some of his projects at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (U.K.), some universities in the Eastern United States, and on the Black Sea.**Question: What is the opinion of the scientific community about the book?Answer: There is a number of published reviews and evaluations of this book, as well as other books by the same author. The list of those reviews is available at:http://www.scribd.com/doc/45111401;all of those reviews and evaluations are positive.**Question: Is a Kindle edition available?**Question: Did any libraries acquire the book?Answer: Yes, many libraries of Europe, N.America, Asia, and Australia acquired this book.
