Bibliogr. 4 refs. A concise abstract: In the recent publication (S.A.O. Siberian Ecological
Journal. 2006. No. 3. p. 339-343) it was demonstrated that there are some fundamental
analogies between the functioning of the system of repair of genetic material and the system
of processes leading to water purification in ecosystems. The both systems exemplify some
important anti-entropy processes. Therefore, the author of the paper (Sib. Ecol. J. 2006,
No.3, p. 339-343) introduced a new fundamental concept of ecological repair. Biological
mechanisms of water self-purification are in essence the mechanisms for ecological repair of
water quality.

contributions of Dr. S.A. Ostroumov (Moscow State University) to biology and ecology.
Among the area involved are the following issues: developing concepts on the apparatus of
the biosphere as an important factor for the formation of the geological environment
including the hydrosphere; links among ecology and chemistry of natural compounds; the
role of chemicals as mediators in interactions among organisms and the transfer of signals in
the biosphere; the role of man-made impacts that lead to some decrease in the biospheric and
hydrospheric functions of the living matter; the biosphere as the ecological-biochemical
continuum; additional discoveries in the active transforming role of the living matter as
exemplified by the aquatic organisms which are filter-feeders; new typology of the
biogeochemical transfers of matter; creating a more adequate system of priorities to assess
hazards of the chemical pollution of the biosphere; using various organisms to clean the
environment; developing educational programs and teaching aids.

inhibitory effects of synthetic surfactants of three classes on the filtering activity of bivalves
are given. The finding of those effects was recognized as a scientific discovery that was
certified by the Diploma of Scientific Discovery (No. 274). The priority of the discovery was
9.08.2000. The author of the discovery is Dr. S.A. Ostroumov. In the book, a collection of
materials on how surfactants affect filtering activity of bivalves is presented. The materials

bibliography, a collection of comments and opinions of experts in ecology and
ecotoxicology, a list of websites that contain information on relevant publications, and a list

discovery demonstrates a new type of ecological hazards from the chemical pollution of the
biosphere, sets some new priorities in the assessment of manmade impact on the biosphere
and the prevention of the most important types of chemical pollution of aquatic environment.

S.A.O. that explored three topics: (1) interactions between organisms and pollutants that
lead to water self-purification and control of water quality; (2) interactions between
organisms and pollutants that lead to the accumulation of the pollutants in the tissues of
those organisms; (3) studying of the allowable (tolerated) loads of pollutants on aquatic
organisms (macrophytes) in order to contribute to ecotechnologies of water treatment – the
technologies that use organisms as factors in remediation of the aquatic environment.

Aquatic Ecosystems," a clear signal as to author S. Ostroumov's concerns and focus. The
hardbound work is said to provide a foundation for exploration of how hazardous wastes are
absorbed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The text presents information on actions
required for remediation and restoring water quality. Approaches to counteract "toxic effects
of man made surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation," are also
discussed in the 296-page work, as well as protection measures to improve water quality. -

Ermakov V.V. (Prof., Head of Laboratory, Russian Acad.Sci., Deputy Editor-in-

Ostroumov «Aquatic organisms in self-purification of water and the biogenic migration of
elements» // Water: Chemistry and Ecology. 2009. No. 8. p. 25-29. Bibliogr. 26 refs. A new
theory for the biomechanisms for water self-purification is presented in the
S.A. Ostroumov‘s book ‗Aquatic Organisms in Water Self-Purification and Biogenic
Migration of Elements‘ (2008, 200 p.). Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively
involved in various processes leading to water purification. Almost all main groups of
organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. In the theory, the
results of the author's experiments on the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms
were used. The theory is an innovative basis for new ecological technologies to clean water
and to upgrade its quality by using aquatic organisms.
