Responses of Unio tumidus to mixed chemical preparations and the hazard of synecological summation of anthropogenic effects. - Doklady Biological Sciences, 2001, Volume 380, Numbers 1-6, p. 492-495. ISSN 0012-4966 (Print) 1608-3105 (Online). DOI 10.1023/A:1012344026176. The author introduced a new concept and term, “the synecological summation of the effects of anthropogenic factors on organisms”. In the new author’s experiments, the effects of commercial detergents, which are chemical mixtures, on bivalves (detergent OMO, freshwater mussels Unio tumidus) were studied. Detergents exert two types of hazardous effects on organisms and ecosystems: the phosphorus-induced stimulation of phytoplankton growth and surfactant-induced inhibition of filter-feeders. Because filter-feeders are an effective natural factor of control of unicellular plankton populations, the two types of the detergent-induced effects on ecosystem facilitate the growth of phytoplankton populations. Therefore, these effects sum together, thereby increasing the hazard of the man-made impact on the ecosystem. The results contribute to a better understanding of the potential ecological danger of pollutants for integral functions of ecosystems. It is the synecological summation of the effects of anthropogenic factors on plankton populations and filter-feeders that is of particular concern. The interaction between populations of plankton organisms and filter-feeders that feed on plankton should be taken into consideration in the studies on the ecological effects of synthetic detergents on these populations. Situations of man-made impact should be analyzed with using the synecological approach to the problem. http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs380p492unio/; www.springerlink.com/index/L33309208H28L87R.pdf; DOI 10.1023/A:1012344026176; Translated from the original Russian paper: Responses of Unio tumidus to a mixture of chemicals and the hazard of synecological summation of anthropogenic effects (Reagirovanie Unio tumidus pri vozdeistvii smesevogo himicheskogo preparata i opasnost sinekologicheskogo summirovaniya antropogennyh vozdeistviy). — DAN. 2001.

Water self-purification [1-7] is an important example of ecosystem services. This function of aquatic ecosystems is necessary for sustainable development, and for sustainable use of aquatic resources (water resources), as well for environmental safety. The analysis made by the author in a published paper (Ostroumov, 2008) [8] showed that aquatic ecosystem (both marine and freshwater one) features a multi-component molecular-ecological mechanism for upgrading water quality. In other words, it is a multi-component, multi-process biomachinery for water quality formation and self-purification. The biomachinery includes the following items: (1) sources of energy for self-purification mechanisms, (2) the major taxa of living organisms as components of the biomachinery; (3) the biomachinery contains the functional blocks that perform functions of filters, mills, and pumps. A set of six principles was formulated. Experiments that the author carried out demonstrated how several types of chemical pollutants may produce damage to this delicate and very useful biomachinery which makes water clean. The experiments demonstrated that some chemical pollutants decreased important and useful functions of aquatic invertebrate animals which contribute to purification of water. We have found that the chemical pollutant as diverse as synthetic surfactants, detergents, salts of Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg, Co, Ti, V (Na3VO4 •12 H2O), and oil hydrocarbons inhibited water filtration by bivalve molluscs, the marine mussels (the Latin name of the mussels: Mytilus galloprovincialis). One of the practical conclusions is that we now see another aspect of important hazard from the low, sublethal concentrations of the chemicals that pollute the aquatic environment. Not only death of aquatic organisms, but also even a decrease of their functional activity in polluted aquatic ecosystems poses some danger and risk to the water system. The potential hazard of those low levels of the chemical pollutants is that the potential of the ecosystem to purify water will be decreased. As a final result, in future we may have water of worse quality. This theory presented in [8-12] may be of interest to scientists and specialists in the following fields: aquatic ecology, water science, environmental toxicology and chemistry, ecotoxicology, and water resource management.

Available online 31 December 2009. Abstract: The effects of in vivo exposure of Mytilus galloprovincialis to two anionic surfactants (SDBS and SDS) on the molecular biomarker system were studied. After continuous exposure for 72 days, activities/levels of GST, GPx and GSH were significantly higher than in corresponding control groups following exposure to 3.000 mg/L SDS and SDBS. Activities of SOD and CAT were significantly inhibited by experimental SDBS (except CAT in 0.100 mg/L group), but not by SDS. Statistical analysis of enzyme activities/levels suggested that there were significant positive relationships between GST and GPx, and negative relationships were found between GSH and CAT, GSH and SOD. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) results showed that a greater genotoxic effect was observed for SDBS than for SDS. Based on the above results, the biomarker system of mussels can be affected by the two anionic surfactants (≥3.000 mg/L); it was more easily affected by SDBS than by SDS.

In the paper, the author proposes a new two-component solution in order to protect the aquatic ecosystem from eutrophication. First, it is essential to reduce the input of nutrients. Second, it is equally important to reduce the input of the pollutants which weaken the potential of the ecosystem for removing the biomass of phytoplankton by filter-feeders. Those pollutants include surfactants, detergents, and some other compounds. Because synecology is one of key approaches in our analysis, this concept of counteracting eutrophication can be called a synecological solution to the problem. New experimental results: the detergent ‘Fairy’ inhibited the filtration rate of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis; this complements the earlier data of the author on how detergents affect filter-feeders. --KEY WORDS: danger, chemical pollution, hazards, xenobiotics, synthetic, surface-active agents, surfactants, laundry detergents, heavy metals, mixtures, eutrophication, water filtration, clearance rate, invertebrates, pellets, filter-feeders, suspension feeders, bivalves, mollusks, rotifers, mussels, Mytilus, edulis, galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas, Dreissena, Unio, phytoplankton, zooplankton, algae, Daphnia, aquatic, ecosystems, sustainable, use, water resources, environmental safety, control, pollution, new, approach, solving, man-made reservoirs. --Остроумов С.А.

Видение автором нового решения проблемы эвтрофирования основывается на синэкологическом подходе. Автор предлагает новый подход - двухкомпонентное решение в целях защиты водных экосистем от эвтрофирования. Оба компонента в равной степени важны и должны реализовываться (применяться на практике) одновременно. Во-первых, необходимо снизить поступление биогенов. Во-вторых, равным образом важно снизить поступление поллютантов, которые ослабляют потенциальную способность экосистем удалять биомассу фитопланктона благодаря активности фильтраторов. Эти поллютанты включают в себя поверхностно-активные вещества, детергенты и некоторые другие. Детергент Fairy ингибировал фильтрационную активность мидий Mytilus galloprovincialis, что дополняет ранее полученные данные автора о том, как детергенты воздействуют на фильтраторов.

Translated from Doklady Akademii Nauk, Vol. 372, No. 2, 2000, pp. 279–282. ABSTRACT. A new fundamental concept of the role of biota in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems is proposed. According to that concept, the complex of aquatic organisms (aquatic biota) is a central, labile and potentially vulnerable component of the water self-purification system in aquatic ecosystems. This fundamental concept leads to substantial changes in the hierarchy of priorities for protection of biodiversity and environment. According to the concept suggested in this work, the maximum allowable concentrations (MACs) for specific substances should be established after taking into account the possible effects of pollutants on the water self-purification system. Possible effects on many organisms, including filter feeders, should be taken into consideration. Both inhibiting and stimulating effects of sublethal concentrations of pollutants are dangerous, because either of them may cause an imbalance in the complicated system of water self-purification. The fundamental concept suggested in this work heightens the level of priority of the sublethal effects of pollutants. The sublethal effects leading to changes in the functional activity of populations of aquatic organisms may cause an imbalance in the system of water self-purification. --KEY WORDS: new fundamental concept, role of biota, functioning of aquatic ecosystems, central, labile and potentially vulnerable component, water self-purification, priorities for protection of biodiversity and environment, maximum allowable concentrations, MACs, substances, filter feeders, inhibiting and stimulating effects, sublethal concentrations, pollutants, hazards, imbalance, sublethal effects, functional activity, populations, bivalves, sodium dodecylsulphate, Triton X-100; SDS, TX-100, water filtration, phytoplankton, Mytilus edulis; TDTMA, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, Brachionus angularis, cyanobacteria, green algae, diatom algae, flagellata, vascular plants , invertebrates, synthetic surfactants, pesticides, suspended particles, sedimentation, sorption, evaporation, hydrolysis, photochemical conversion, catalytic redox conversion, free radical reactions, contaminant, toxicity, binding to dissolved organic compounds, DOCs, chemical oxidation, biogens, hydrobionts, biotransformation, redox reactions, destruction, conjugation, extracellular enzymatic transformation, pellets, bottom; ---http://scipeople.ru/users/2943391/; [http://www.springer.com/life+sci/journal/10630] also see: http://sites.google.com/site/bioeffectsofsurfactants/ http://sites.google.com/site/surfactantinhibitfilterfeed02/ http://sites.google.com/site/3surfactantsfiltrationmytilus/ http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsergei/ http://sites.google.com/site/bioticupgradewaterquality2008/
