Academy of Aquatic Sciences, awarded in 2006). http://scipeople.com/publication/67906/ ; 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 Dr. Steven C. McCutcheon about the book, from his
Preface: "I am pleased to have this opportunity to comment on the scientific leadership of Sergei A.
Ostroumov. The book is highly recommended to those who are involved in studying ecology and solving
environmental problems". - Steven C. McCutcheon, Ph.D., University of Georgia and U.S. Environmental

[=Проблемы экологии и гидробиологии / ред. И.К. Тодераш, С.А. Остроумов, Е.И.
Зубкова. Москва, МАКС пресс. 2008. - 80 с.] The collective monograph contains publications
of the international team of authors on issues of ecology, biogeochemistry, water quality, and
environmental monitoring. The main part of the book is formed by the innovative materials on
the role of aquatic organisms in water self-purification and biogenic migration of elements. The
role of aquatic mollusks in the biogenic migration of metals is given special attention. The
organisms that were studied included several species of organisms inhabiting freshwater and
marine environments. Among those species were mollusks Unio pictorum, zebra mussel
Dreissena polymorpha, marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and some other organisms. One
of the papers contributes to developing new ecological technologies to treat polluted waters
using aquatic vegetation (macrophytes, plants), for instance, elodea Elodea canadensis,
Potamogeton crispus and other species. The collective monograph was initiated and organized by
Dr. S.A. Ostroumov as a step toward contributing to the scientific basis of environmental safety
and sustainability. The book was published under the aegis of Moscow State University and the
Moscow Society of Researchers of Nature (MOIP), the oldest public society in Russia. [D:\Мои

Review: Ermakov V.V. (Prof., Head of Lab. of Biogeochem., Russ. Acad. Sci.) About the book
S.A. Ostroumov «Aquatic organisms in self-purification of water and the biogenic migration of
elements» // Water: Chemistry and Ecology. 2009. № 8. p.25-29. Bibliogr. 26 refs. A new theory
for the biomechanisms for water self-purification is presented in the S.A.Ostroumov’s book
‘Aquatic Organisms in Water Self-Purification and Biogenic Migration of Elements’ (2008, 200
p.). Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water
purification. Almost all main groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in
the paper. In the theory, the results of the author's experiments on the effects of various pollutants
on aquatic organisms were used. The theory is an innovative basis for new ecological technologies
to clean water and to upgrade its quality by using aquatic organisms.

The brochure is a material for the lecture. The author was invited to lecture at the All-Russia
Conference with the elements of a scientific school "Ecotoxicology-2009". Conference is
organized by the Scientific-Educational Center "Ecobiotechnology" of Tula State University at
the Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, RAN, 26 - 30 October 2009,
Pushchino. The aim of this work - to summarize and systematize the publications of the author
which are related to the topic of the lecture. It contains the results of the author's works in the
period 1985-2009. The results and bibliography are summarized in the tables: 1. Accumulation
of elements in organisms and their role in biogeochemical fluxes of elements; 2. Effects of
xenobiotics and pollutants on higher plants; 3. The impact of chemicals on algae; 4. The impact
of xenobiotics on molluscs and some plankton organisms which are filter feeders;
5.Investigations of the role of aquatic plants in relation to phytotechnologies and
phytoremediation; 6. Conceptual developments of fundamentals of general ecology and the state
of the biosphere. Among the new fundamental concepts introduced by the author: the biosphere
as an ecological-biochemical continuum (p.43), theory of apparatus of the biosphere (p.43-44).
