Abstract: Studies of ecology of living organisms lead to a more profound understanding of the intricate processes of the Earth’s biosphere functioning. The mankind is still far from establishing harmonious relations with it. However, permanently progressing destruction of natural complexes by the technogenic civilization necessitates some new revolutionary approaches to their preservation. That is why it is so important to study the relationships and interactions between living organisms. One of the most important roles in this “orchestra” is played by numerous invertebrates which filter the water and improve water quality. To what degree chemical pollutants modify their capacity to do this vital ecosystems service?

Библиогр. 17 назв. http://scipeople.com/publication/69433/. Затронутые вопросы: репарация на экологическом уровне, восстановление качества воды, изъятие водными организмами взвеси из воды, ингибирование загрязняющим веществом, ксенобиотики, синтетические поверхностно-активные вещества, детергенты, тяжелые металлы, тетрадецилтриметиламмонийбромид, мидии Mytilus. В работе получены новые экспериментальные результаты, доказывающие, что один из важнейших процессов репарации на экологическом уровне (восстановление качества воды в ходе процесса изъятия водными организмами взвеси из воды) ингибируется загрязняющим веществом (ксенобиотиком). Это указывает на элемент аналогии с процессами репарации на молекулярно-генетическом уровне, которые также могут нарушаться ксенобиотиками и характеризуются некоторыми другими свойствами, аналогичными особенностям экологической репарации. Ксенобиотики, оказывающие негативное воздействие на процессы, важные для экологической репарации качества воды, включали различные синтетические поверхностно-активные вещества, детергенты, тяжелые металлы и др. Приводятся новые экспериментальные данные о воздействии тетрадецилтриметиламмонийбромида на мидии Mytilus. [http://thesa-store.com/eco/]

ISBN 13: 9780849325267. [Electronic book text: ISBN: 6610517002; ISBN 13: 9786610517008; Publication date: 15 December 2005]; (Diploma of the Academy of Aquatic Sciences, awarded in 2006). The book summarizes the 20-year research done by the author and over 90 author's research publications in many Russian and international editions as well as hundreds of publications of other scientists. The book contains new detailed information on the results of the author’s studies of the biological effects of synthetic surfactants and detergents on autotrophic and heterotrophic, prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The chemicals included anionic, non-ionic and cationic surfactants, as well as several types of detergents. The freshwater and marine organisms studied included bacteria and cyanobacteria, algae, flagellates, seedlings of higher plants, and invertebrates (mollusks, annelids). The results are discussed and analyzed in connection with new priorities in assessing the ecological hazards of chemical pollution and xenobiotics on the biosphere and hydrosphere, studying water purification in aquatic ecosystems, and setting new priorities in the area of environmental protection. The book is of interest to scientists who conduct research in relevant areas of ecology, limnology, oceanography, hydrobiology, environmental sciences, water sciences, geosciences, the science of the biosphere and global change, ecotoxicology, as well as to university professors, graduate students and educators. The book is also of interest to those who are involved in environmental management and assessment, environmental law and regulation. The book is also of interest to companies that make dispersants to clean oil spills, shampoos, laundry detergents, detergents for cars, and other detergents. Opinion of the site ResearchBooks: 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. Biological Effects of Surfactants synthesizes the most important findings from hundreds of articles and the author's current experiments 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 concepts in hydrobiology, biogeochemical cycling, and the assimilative capacity of water-beyond the self-purification capabilities of bacteria and nutrient cycling-to examine the effects of anionic, non-ionic, and cationic surfactants as well as detergent mixtures on a wide range of organisms including bacteria, cyanobacteria, flagellates, algae, higher plants, and invertebrates. 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. While proposing 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 develop effective environmental remediation and protection measures to improve water quality.Biological Effects of Surfactants lays an excellent foundation for scientists to explore how hazardous wastes are absorbed in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, determine what is required for remediation and restoring water quality, and design the best approach to counteract the toxic effects of manmade surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation.[http://www.researchbooks.org/0849325269/BIOLOGICAL-EFFECTS-SURFACTANTS/].
