THE LIST OF 40+ TITLES; these publications are in English:

1)

Toxicity of gold nanoparticles for plants in experimental aquatic system.

[Tags, key words: Non-animal testing, Alternative to Animal Testing, gold nanomaterials, Au, with aquatic higher plants, macrophytes, Ceratophyllum demersum, English names of the higher plant species: hornwort, rigid hornwort, coontail, coon's tail]

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 gold.

The discovery made in this publication:

When gold is in the form of nanoparticles, it becomes toxic to aquatic plants.



2)

Keywords in short: Phytotoxicity, detergent, synthetic surfactant, higher plants, macrophytes, Alternative to Animal Testing;

Title of the publication: Phytotoxicity of a surfactant-containing product towards macrophytes;

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.

Tags / keywords: environmental toxicology, water, aquatic, toxicology, aquatic higher plants, vegetation, detergents,

3)

Keywords in short:

water pollution, control of water pollution, water self-purification, innovative theory of function of water ecosystem ;

Title of publication: 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.

The theory discovered and explained the mechanism of the important aquatic ecosystem service, namely, water purification by the community of aquatic organisms.

The new theory identified several important natural ecological processes that function as three types of mechanisms that contribute to improving water quality (in other words, they contribute to water self-purification):

(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)

Keywords is short:

improving water quality, control of aquatic pollution, useful role of organisms, ecological theory, ecosystem function;

Title of publication:

Biocontrol of water quality: Multifunctional role of biota in water self-purification;

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/227303635;

Explanation of novelty and usefulness:

This article contributed to formulation fundamentals of a new ecological theory, proposed by this author in his earlier publications.

The theory discovered and explained the mechanism of the important aquatic ecosystem service, namely, water purification by the community of aquatic organisms.

The new theory helps to protect aquatic ecosystem health and good quality of water resources.
