Abstract:

This article presents the recent author's discovery of 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 in environmental detoxification (ex-living matter concept). This may be useful for the development of new technologies for remediation and decontamination of the environment.
