Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
until now, the gold was considered as a non-toxic metal, a non-toxic chemical element. This is a first paper to report toxicity of gold, using plants as test-organisms. This is a new example of how important is the size of the particles of the metal. When gold is in the form of nanoparticles, it becomes toxic to this organism, an aquatic plant species.

https://www.researchgate.net/…/Sergei…/publication/263456086 ;
Tags: environmental toxicology, water, aquatic, toxicology, aquatic higher plants, vegetation, detergents,
Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
Until the laboratory of these authors was active, no facts of toxicity of detergents to higher aquatic plants (macrophytes) were known. The first facts on toxicity of detergents to aquatic higher plants were obtained by Dr. Sergei Ostroumov (they were presented in his book, Biological Effects of Surfactants). This paper is a continuation of work of this author. New facts of toxicity of detergents to aquatic plants were reported in this paper. The new data provided new support to the conclusion made by Sergei in his book: the synthetic detergents are more hazardous to the aquatic environment than it was thought before.

On biotic self-purification of aquatic ecosystems. Elements of theory;
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/200567576;
Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
This article formulated fundamentals of a new ecological theory, proposed by this author in his earlier publications.

(1) Filters;
(2) Pumps;
(3) Mills;
(Important note: unfortunately, there was a misprint in the paper. The word 'pumps' was printed in a wrong way. The second letter in this word (the letter 'u') was wrongly printed as 'i').
The new theory helps to protect aquatic ecosystem health and good quality of water resources.

4)
