Abstract—
The review covers new aspects of the participation of organisms in the detoxification system of the
biosphere. Problems of detoxification of toxic environmental pollutants are analyzed. New author’s
experimental data in combination with a large amount of information in the scientific literature gave rise to a new concept of the role of biogenic detritus and related nutrients in environmental detoxification (ex-living matter concept). This may be useful for the development of new technologies for remediation and decontamination of the environment.
Keywords: biosphere, detoxification, pollution control, toxic chemical elements, immobilization, sorption,
biogenic detritus, ex-living matter;
INTRODUCTION.
Study of the problem of detoxification of harmful
substances in the biosphere is closely related to several
areas of environmental chemistry. Many authors studied
problems of migration and cycling of chemical elements
in the biosphere... [continuation see in the article when published]
