;Annotation: Understanding the role of aquatic biota and the impact of pollution and chemicalsubstances that enter aquatic ecosystems is crucial to the assessment,prevention, and remediation of damaged environments.Book Biological Effects of Surfactants synthesizes the most important findings from hundreds of articlesand the author's current experiments on the biological effects of syntheticsurfactants and detergents on individual organisms, populations, communities,and ecosystems.This book offers a new perspective of the hazards of pollution.The book draws upon concepts in hydrobiology, biogeochemical cycling, and theassimilative capacity of water-beyond the self-purification capabilities of bacteria and nutrient cycling-to examine the effects of anionic, non-ionic, andcationic surfactants as well as detergent mixtures on a wide range of organismsincluding bacteria, cyanobacteria, flagellates, algae, higher plants, andinvertebrates.The author, a distinguished member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, establishes new quantitative characteristics of the effects
 
and presents study results reflecting newly discovered phenomena. Whileproposing and substantiating new priorities and approaches for testing,assessing, and characterizing the biological activities and hazards of substances, he illustrates how the data obtained can be used to developeffective environmental remediation and protection measures to improve waterquality.Biological Effects of Surfactants lays an excellent foundation forscientists to explore how hazardous wastes are absorbed in aquatic andterrestrial ecosystems, determine what is required for remediation and restoringwater quality, and design the best approach to counteract the toxic effects of manmade surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation. About the book entitled 'Biological Effects of Surfactants [and Detergents: Ecotoxicology]'in English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese languages:http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/6878_EcotoxicologyDetergents6languages;http://www.scribd.com/doc/45909268;Book: Biological Effects of Surfactantsby Dr. S.A.
