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.

Brief review: The concise results and shortlist of some well-cited publications on ecology and environment - in English, the full texts or abstracts available online free (updated 2010, Mar 20)
The publications by S.A. Ostroumov in the main part of the list below include those that described some innovations in conceptualization of the fundamentals of ecology, – e.g., such as the notion of ecosystem [15]. Previously, in the book ‘Introduction to Biochemical Ecology’, the same author explored another fundamental issue of ecology and made a new classification of interorganismal interactions mediated by chemicals. Also, some of the publications given below formulated a new theory of the biomachinery that provides the useful ecosystem’s service of improving water quality [2, 4, 14, 20, 24, 25, 31]. In another essential series of publications, a set of new biological effects of man-made chemicals were discovered [1, 6, 12, 16, 19, 27; and others]. As a result, some new hazards of chemical pollution to the biosphere were found [1, 2, 12, 17, 19, 21]. Practical recommendations to better protect aquatic biodiversity were published [18], which was a continuation of the book ‘Conservation of Living Nature and Resources: Problems, Trends, Prospects’ (by A. Yablokov, S. Ostroumov, Springer Press). Steps towards new technologies to combat pollution were made [30]. A list of priorities in the further research on the most urgent issues of ecology and environment was developed [23].
The publications [1-32] and other publications authored and coauthored by S.A.O. were commented and supported in the papers and books by many other authors [33-119]. Among them are the scientists who work in N. America (e.g., [50, 61, 100, 103]), Europe (e.g., [58, 68-70, 79, 84 ]; including France, Spain, Greece), Asia (e.g., [72, 81, 88, 101, 117]; including China and India), and other parts of the world.

The effects of environmental pollution with a cationic surface-active substance (surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide TDTMA) on certain cyanobacteria and algae - cyanobacteria Nostoc muscorum Ag, strain 33 isolated from the soil in the Kirov Oblast (Region); green algae Bracteacoccus minor (Chodat) Petrova, strain 200 and strain 219 (the strain 219 was isolated from the volcanic ash collected next to Tyatya Volcano, island of Kunashir) - was investigated. Their sensitivity to that surfactant TDTMA was compared with the sensitivity of a test based on the use of terrestrial plants. The algal experiments were performed with aquatic and soil cultures. The experiments with terrestrial plants used the earlier-developed method with seedlings of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.
TDTMA at concentrations 1 mg/L and above produced some negative effects on cyanobacteria and algae in aquatic cultures. TDTMA at concentrations 50 mg/L and above produced some negative effects on cyanobacteria and algae (diatoms) in soil cultures. TDTMA at a concentration 100 mg/L produced some negative effects on all organisms tested in the soil cultures. TDTMA at a concentration 100 mg/L decreased the number of cells per 1 g of soil; the decrease was observed for cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms.
The experiments revealed the higher sensitivity of the test with the aquatic algal cultures.

A New unified THEORY OF THE ECOLOGICAL MECHANISMS TO IMPROVE water quality and to make water clear: a basis for water purification and waste water treatment:
A challenge in ecology is the multitude of factors that influence all ecological processes. It is difficult to find a balance when we analyze them. A new theory was created that unified and balanced many physical, chemical and biological factors that work together toward improving water quality. Key Issues: Earth Science, water purification, waste water treatment, modern ecological theory, water quality, self-purification, aquatic ecosystems, freshwater, marine, pollution control. See at:

Contribution to the SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR WATER PURIFICATION AND WASTE WATER TREATMENT: an insight into the ecological mechanisms to improve water quality and to make water clear. A challenge in ecology is the multitude of factors that influence all ecological processes. It is difficult to find a balance when we analyze them. An answer was given to the problem of how to balance many physical, chemical and biological factors toward improving water quality.
Issues considered or involved: water supply, sustainability, preventing pollution, pollution control, Earth science, life science, water purification, waste water treatment, modern ecological theory, water quality, self-purification, aquatic ecosystems, freshwater, marine, water objects; See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/610_New_unified_theory_of_the_ecological_mechanisms_to_improve_water_quality_and_to_make_water_clear_a_basis_for_water_purification_and_waste_water_treatment
Does IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW depend on new improvement of ecological terms? Fundamental solutions suggested: To implement environmental law, it is necessary to have adequate, clear and precise interpretation (definitions) of the basic ecological terms, including the definition of ecosystem. The standard definition is vague. A new definition was published. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/608_Does_implementation_of_environmental_law_depend_on_new_improvement_of_ecological_terms_Fundamental_solutions_suggested
New plant species as a POTENT TOOL TO CLEAN WATER AND TO REMOVE HEAVY METALS: This is the first time the phytoremediation potential of a new wide-spread species of plants was discovered. The plant removed the toxic metals cadmium, lead, copper, zinc (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) from water with great efficiency. As a result, water quality improved dramatically with prospect of new technology. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/594_New_plant_species_as_a_potent_tool_to_clean_water_and_to_remove_heavy_metals
The Threat of Shampoo, Detergents, Foams to the Biosphere: This paper indicated that components of SHAMPOO POSE A DRAMATIC DANGER AND HAZARD to intimate ecosystem services that are a keystone for the security and stability of the biosphere. Foam from shampoo was found to be of much more environmental hazard than previously thought. http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/466_The_Threat_of_Shampoo_to_the_Biosphere
A New Concept For Ecosystems: Major functions of ecosystem are traditionally being described in a dogmatic, stagnant, and antiquated way. A paper was published with a NEW CONCEPTUAL ADDITION to key functions of aquatic ecosystem: the latter is seen as a kind of a grand autonomous bioreactor governed by a diverse genetic pool. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/410_A_New_Concept_For_Ecosystems
Stopping Pollution: Eutrophication and Algal Blooms: A new approach to PREVENT POLLUTION, EUTROPHICATION, AND ALGAL BLOOMS was identified and analyzed in this paper . The approach is based on efficient use of the natural mechanisms of self-regulation of ecosystem. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/389_Stopping_Pollution_Eutrophication_and_Algal_Blooms
Underwater Secrets of Global Change: What is the global change? Usually it is seen as something that is relevant to the atmosphere and weather. It is true that air is involved, but not only the air alone; what happens in water is less visible. This paper unveils this HIDDEN SIDE OF ECOSYSTEMS, and discusses both hopes and hazards. See at:
http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/379_Underwater_Secrets_of_Global_Change
Vulnerability of Major Plankton Groups: Rotifers: Welfare of the biosphere depends on filter-feeders that contribute to making water clean. Important new facts on the NEW TYPE OF HAZARD OF MAN-MADE DAMAGE TO THE BENEFICIAL FUNCTION of rotifers, which are plankton filter-feeders, were discovered. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/369_Vulnerability_of_Major_Plankton_Groups_Rotifers
Three New Key Hazards to the Functioning of the Biosphere: A paper in which the author discovered MAN-MADE HAZARDS TO 3 ASPECTS OF FUNCTIONING of the biosphere and ecosystems: (1) formation of water quality; (2) bio-geochemical flows of C, N, P and other constituents of biomass; (3) formation of deposits of organic matter as bottom sediments. See at:
http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/358_Three_New_Key_Hazards_to_the_Functioning_of_the_Biosphere
Biodiversity and stability of ecosystems: The role of biodiversity in benefiting stability of ecosystems is a matter of a hot dispute. The matter of STABILITY OF ECOSYSTEMS is very important as it is a part of stability of the biosphere at the time of hazards of global change. Not much is known on whether biodiversity is instrumental for increasing stability of AQUATIC ecosystems. A research project was done that is filling the gap in knowledge on this controversial issue.
A paper was published that provides a fresh analysis and new vision of how biodiversity helps towards better stability of aquatic habitats, i.e. water quality. To my mind, the paper mentioned below is a contribution to better understanding of the positive role of biodiversity in increasing stability of aquatic habitats and by doing so, to increasing the stability of aquatic ecosystem as a whole. I will be happy to know the opinion of other members of the network.

Inhibitory Analysis: A NEW METHOD FOR ANALYZING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ORGANISMS in ecosystems: The author proposed a new approach to analyze a key ecological issue: the interactions between organisms in ecosystems. The new methodology proposed is inhibitory analysis. The author applied this approach to analyze trophic chains: the top–down control of plankton by benthic filter-feeders. See at:
http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/299_Inhibitory_Analysis_A_new_method_for_analyzing_interactions_between_organisms_in_ecosystems
New threat to water quality: discovery of the NEW IMPORTANT TYPE OF HAZARDS from pollution: Synecological summation of effects on different trophic levels: The common vision is that the main eco-hazard is effects on organisms that are the final target. This is an incorrect view. The paper discovers hazards from summation of mild effects on adjacent trophic levels. Example of effects of pollutants on filter-feeders, algae and water quality is given. See at:

CRITERIA OF ECOLOGICAL HAZARDS DUE TO ANTHROPOGENIC EFFECTS on the biota: Searching for a system:
The system of criteria for evaluation of eco-hazards of chemicals in W. Europe and N. America is outdated and does not guarantee environmental safety. The author gave a conceptual framework for an ecologically more sound system of criteria, with an example of its application to a real situation. See at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/255_Criteria_of_ecological_hazards_due_to_anthropogenic_effects_on_the_biota_Searching_for_a_system
The Concept of Aquatic BIOTA AS A LABILE AND VULNERABLE COMPONENT OF THE WATER SELF-PURIFICATION System: The author formulated a new basic concept of the complex of organisms of aquatic ecosystem. According to the concept, the biota is a central, labile and vulnerable (to pollutants) part of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification and upgrade of water quality.

[For the first time the negative effects of the three surfactants on the filtration rates by marine mussels were presented in one paper. The xenobiotics tested represented anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, TDTMA, a representative of a class of cationic surfactants; sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS, a representative of anionic alkyl sulfates; and Triton X-100, a representative of non-ionic hydroxyethylated alkyl phenols). Negative effects of SDS, TDTMA, and Triton X-100 on the filtration activity of marine mussels M. edulis and M. edulis / M. galloprovincialis were discovered. All three surfactants inhibited the clearance rates. This is the first publication of the negative effects of a cationic surfactant on Atlantic mussels Mytilus.

Some basic elements of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and many other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results of the author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms (freshwater and marine bivalves) are given. The theory is an innovative basis for developing ecological technologies to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using organisms and ecosystems [http://scindeks.nb.rs/article.aspx?artid=0354-32850750015O].

A new set of ecological generalizations formulated in this paper represent, in a systematized form, the basic elements of the qualitative theory of biotic control of water quality and water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory contributes to a better understanding of the issues of stability and regulation in the biosphere. The theory is supported by the results of the author’s experimental studies of the effects exerted by surfactants, detergents and other pollutants on aquatic organisms. http://sites.google.com/site/9enecologica16p25theory/
