On 7 achievements in environmental science (concise summary and comments). https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318653098; 7 top, main achievements of the researcher at Moscow State University: environmental science, biology, ecology, water quality, aquatic ecotoxicology; https://5bio5.blogspot.com/2017/07/7-main-achievements-repost.html; https://5bio5.blogspot.com/2017/07/7.html;
** Among the main achievements: according to independent experts who reviewed the publications of these results, these innovations are connected with generation of fundamentally new ideas and concepts which are ahead of their time and are perhaps ahead of the current time. Therefore their value is not based on the year of their publication. They were formulated in books and articles that, formally speaking, are not very recent. However the level of novelty, according to independent reviewers, is substantial. The opinion of reviewers is that the results, ideas and conclusions are being innovative now, and they will stay innovative for some period of time in future. These are the main seven results: 1. Creation of a new ecological science, namely, biochemical ecology, in books and scientific papers in reviewed academic journals [1, 2]; 2. formulation of a consistent ecological theory of improving water quality (theory of water self-purification) [3]; 3. discovery of new environmental hazards of non-lethal concentrations of synthetic detergents and synthetic surfactants as disruptors of water filtration function (by organisms that are filter-feeders) in aquatic ecosystems [4, 5]; 4. scientific justification of necessity to include synthetic surfactants on the list of priority pollutants [4, 5]; 5. a new system of criteria of environmental hazard of chemicals [6, 7]; 6. a new definition of the fundamental term, ecosystem (and a new definition of the term biogeocoenosis) [8]; 7. identification, discovery and conceptual analysis of the third functional type of matter (chemical substances) in the biosphere, in addition to the traditional two types, living matter and non-alive matter [9, 10]; The citation of this series of publications is characterized in [11]. The citation of publications of this series was made by researchers of more than 50 countries, who are affiliated with more than 300 universities and research institutions worldwide. The books of this scientist got a positive, favorable evaluations in more than 20 book reviews published by international experts and prominent scientists in U.S., Russia and other countries [12].
