Understanding the role of aquatic biota and the impact of pollution and chemical substances that
enter aquatic ecosystems is crucial to the assessment, prevention, and remediation of damaged
environments. The book Biological Effects of Surfactants synthesizes the most important
findings from hundreds of articles and the author's current experiments. His articles were on the
biological effects of synthetic surfactants and detergents on individual organisms, populations,
communities, and ecosystems. This book offers a new perspective of the hazards of pollution.
The book draws upon new concepts in aquatic ecology, hydrobiology, biogeochemical cycling,
and the assimilative capacity of water. The analysis is made beyond the self-purification
capabilities of bacteria and nutrient cycling. The book presents and examines a lot of new effects
of anionic, non-ionic, and cationic surfactants as well as detergent mixtures on a wide range of
organisms. The list of the organisms includes bacteria, cyanobacteria, flagellates, algae, higher
plants, and invertebrates. The author is a distinguished member of the Russian Academy of
Natural Sciences. He establishes new quantitative characteristics of the effects and presents study
results reflecting newly discovered phenomena. The author is proposing and substantiating new
priorities and approaches for testing, assessing, and characterizing the biological activities and
hazards of chemical substances. Moreover, he illustrates how the data obtained can be used to
develop effective environmental remediation and protection measures to improve water quality.
The book Biological Effects of Surfactants lays an excellent foundation for scientists to explore
how hazardous wastes are absorbed in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The book determines
what is required for remediation and restoring water quality in freshwater and marine water
bodies and ecosystems. In addition, the book designs the best approach to counteract the toxic
effects of manmade surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation
(phytotechnology). The book is a useful contribution to water sustainability, to sustainable
development.
