[http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/08/why-publications-of-dr.html ];3 main innovative contributions of this researcher:
(1) His articles are the first papers that demonstrated: in water, the man-made chemicals of the broad class of surfactants produce a negative effect (inhibition, slowing down) on filter-feeding and filtration rate of invertebrate animals of benthos (exemplified by bivalve mollusks) and zooplankton.
This result demonstrated a new huge hazard from chemical pollution of water.
(2) Some other publications of this researcher discovered new facts on how aquatic plants contribute to improving water quality.
(3) This scientist summarized his new results and formulated a new system of processes and factors that work together toward improving water quality, the theory of water self-purification in ecosystems.

Paper entitled:
Decreasing the measurable concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in the water of the experimental systems containing Ceratophyllum demersum: The phytoremediation potential
Ostroumov, S. A; Shestakova, T. V in: Doklady Biological Sciences
key paper: this is the first paper that demonstrated that this species of aquatic plants (macrophytes) is instrumental in decreasing the levels of 4 heavy metals in water in case of multi-metal pollution. It is a significant contribution to creating an innovative green technology of water treatment

The aquatic macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum immobilizes Au nanoparticles after their addition to water:
Ostroumov, S. A; Kolesov, G. M in: Doklady Biological Sciences; [ Article : 2010 ]
key paper: this is the first paper that discovered that in aquatic medium, nanoparticles of metal can be immobilized by aquatic plants (macrophytes). This is a very innovative contribution to our knowledge on nanomaterials. Until this paper next to nothing was known what happens with nanomaterials when they enter the aquatic environment with aquatic organisms.

The role of biodetritus in accumulation of elements in aquatic ecosystems
Ostroumov, S. A; Kolesov, G. M in: Contemporary Problems of Ecology [ Article : 2010 ]
This paper is the first publication that reported the concentrations of a nuber of rare earth elements in biodetritus. The rare earth elements are a key component of modern hi-technology products and they are a new component in the modern solid wastes and waste waters. This paper is an innovative and significant contribution to the database for modern environmental monitoring.

Dec 14, 2015 - Study of the interactions between Elodea canadensis and CuO nanoparticles; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257860248; This is the first paper that reported that nanomaterial that contain oxide of heavy metal (exemplified by copper) after entering aquatic environment can be immobilized by aquatic plant biomass. This is an absolutely innovative and extremely important contribution to environmental toxicology and chemistry of toxic nanomaterials. Toxic nanoparticles are a new type of hazards from environmental pollution.

In a series of publications [1-19] that were published by Moscow University ecologists, some new facts were discovered. As a result of critical analysis on the new facts, a better understanding of the following issues of ecology and environmental science was achieved.
These results help to develop the scientific basis for protection of aquatic ecosystems including protection of water quality. Moreover, these results open new avenues to success in improving water quality in aquatic ecosystems under anthropogenic impact. As a result, these results represent 17 intellectual victories in the battle against deterioration of the biosphere and environment, in the battle against a catastrophic decrease in water quality in freshwater and marine ecosystems, in water bodies and streams.
These innovative results are summarized in short form as follows.

As a result, these results represent 17 intellectual victories in the battle against deterioration of the biosphere and environment, in the battle against a catastrophic decrease in water quality in freshwater and marine ecosystems, in water bodies and streams.
These innovative results are summarized in short form as follows.
1. Innovative conceptualization: how ecosystems improve water quality [3].
2. Fundamentally new facts: hazardous biological and toxic effects of detergent [4-6].
3. Inhibitory analysis: A new method to explore top-down control in ecosystems [7].
4. A contribution to solution of the problem: the problem of criteria for environmental hazards [8, 9].
5. A new contribution to solution of the problem: the problem of eutrophication [10].

7. New facts, discovery: pollutants inhibit: fluxes (flows, transfers) of chemical elements [11].
8. Biomachinery. A new fundamental concept. New scientific term proposed [12].
9. Modernized Terminology. A new improved definition. What is ‘ecosystem’? [13].
10. New key facts towards the scientific basis of innovative technology. New phytotechnology: water purification [14].
11. Stability of the biosphere. Important mechanisms which contribute to stability of the biosphere [15].
12. A new component of the mechanism of regulation of migration of elements and matter in the biosphere [16 ].
13. New type of serious environmental hazards: low-level (sublethal) chemical pollution [5].
14. A new environmental hazard of pollution: damage to links between parts of ecosystems [17].
15. How living organisms change the environment. Additional aspects [15].
16. New fundamental concepts, terminology. Two-level synergism: man-made effects [18].
17. A new anthropogenic factor: initiation, stimulation of algal blooms [7, 10].
To facilitate further research, a short list of the most urgent topics in environmental science was prepared and published [19].
Some additional information on these innovations is presented here [1, 2, 20]. These results were produced by the scientific research conducted at M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University. Some experiments were performed in cooperation with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (U.K.), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and University of Massachusetts (U.S.A.), and Institutes of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Sevastopol and Kiev.
