Also, a note was published: PROTECTING WATER QUALITY *BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SURFACTANTS*, a 2006 technical monograph, begins with a chapter entitled, "Anthropogenic Impacts and Synthetic Surfactants as Pollutants of Aquatic Ecosystems," a clear signal as to author S. Ostroumov's concerns and focus. The hardbound work is said to provide a foundation for exploration of how hazardous wastes are absorbed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The text presents information on actions required for remediation and restoring water quality. Approaches to counteract "toxic effects of man made surfactants using biological methods, including phytoremediation," are also discussed in the 296-page work, as well as protection measures to improve water quality. - IPMnet NEWS, October/November 2006, Issue no. 150 (ISSN: 1523-7893): http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:jV5iVD86ExwJ:www.ipmnet.org/IPMNews/2006/news150.html+Ostroumov+S.&hl=ru&ct=clnk&cd=196

Ostroumov «Aquatic organisms in self-purification of water and the biogenic migration of elements» // Water: Chemistry and Ecology. 2009. No. 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.
