Abstract of book.Biological Effects of Surfactants. Author Dr.S.A.Ostroumov, Moscow University (Ecotoxicology of Detergents, New Methods, Bioassay, Hazard Assessment) http://www.scribd.com/doc/73758855 **
http://www.scribd.com/doc/46613666; Question: I bioassay chemicals. How can I use the book? Answer: You will find some new methods for doing bioassay (Chapter 2) and how to apply them (Chapters 3, 4, 5). Question: I am involved in assessing environmental risk from chemicals, pollutants and xenobiotics. Can I find useful things in the book? Answer: yes, there are two useful things for you. First, you will find additional criteria for assessing biological effects of chemicals, which helps to see some important new aspects of environmental

hazards and risks. Second, you will find new information that leads to seeing environmental risk from synthetic surfactants and detergents. Question: If I study and teach the issues of organic chemicals which are pollutants and xenobiotics, how can I use the book? Answer: in the book, you will find a new addition to the list of hazardous organic chemicals that pollute the environment, and new experimental data in support of adding those chemicals to the list. Question: Is the book relevant to some issues of water quality? Answer: Yes, the chemicals that were analyzed in the book contribute to water pollution. Question: I study and teach plant sciences. Is the book of use to me and my students and co-workers? Answer: Yes, the book contains some new methods of bioassay of phytotoxicity, and many new examples of discovery and quantitative studies of phytotoxicity. An example of a very efficient method is using plant seedlings as test-organisms. Question: If a person is involved in aquaculture, will he find something useful in the book? Answer: Yes, this person will find some new information in the book. In chapters 3 -6, the author presents his new results - information about most important species of bivalves that are being used in aquaculture. These species are edible mollusks of high dietary value - marine mussels and oysters. Question: Are there any new innovations in fundamental science? Answer: Yes, there are several such innovations. E.g., a basis is created for a new fundamental paradigm on stability and sustainability in ecosystems - as exemplified by aquatic ecosystems. Question: I do my research on invertebrates. Also, I teach courses on zoology and animal science. Does the book contain some new information in those areas? Answer: yes, the book includes new data that were obtained by the author on several animal species: aquatic invertebrates (mollusks and leeches). Unique new information is presented: how some xenobiotics produce negative effects on behavior, feeding and other functions of invertebrates. Question: My area aquatic ecology, both freshwater and marine science. In those fields, is there something new and relevant in this book? Answer: yes, the book contains some new data that were obtained when the author conducted his research on freshwater and marine species. As for the marine system studied, the author did some of his projects at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (U.K.), some universities on the Eastern coast of the U.S.A., and on the Black Sea. Question: What is the opinion of the scientific community about the book? Answer: There is a number of published reviews and evaluations of this book, as well as other books by the same author. The list of those reviews is available at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/45111401; all of those reviews and evaluations are positive.

About the book, a comment received from Jorge Gutierrez (UNRC): amazing, thanks. Question: Is there a concise summary of the main discoveries made both in the book and in other related publications by the same author? Answer: Yes, the concise summary is available online free: http://www.scribd.com/doc/51414359; More info about the book, including how to look at some pages of the book, and how to order it:
