Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
until now, the gold was considered as a non-toxic metal, a non-toxic chemical element. This is a first paper to report toxicity of gold, using plants as test-organisms. This is a new example of how important is the size of the particles of the metal. When gold is in the form of nanoparticles, it becomes toxic to this organism, an aquatic plant species.

Explanation of novelty and usefulness:
Until the laboratory of these authors was active, no facts of toxicity of detergents to higher aquatic plants (macrophytes) were known. The first facts on toxicity of detergents to aquatic higher plants were obtained by Dr. Sergei Ostroumov (they were presented in his book, Biological Effects of Surfactants). This paper is a continuation of work of this author. New facts of toxicity of detergents to aquatic plants were reported in this paper. The new data provided new support to the conclusion made by Sergei in his book: the synthetic detergents are more hazardous to the aquatic environment than it was thought before.

http://www.researchgate.net/…/200567576_On_the_biotic_self-…
Explanation of novelty and usefulness: 
This article formulated fundamentals of a new ecological theory, proposed by this author in his earlier publications.

(1) Filters; 
(2) Pumps; 
(3) Mills;
(Important note: unfortunately, there was a misprint in the paper. The word 'pumps' was printed in a wrong way. The second letter in this word (the letter 'u') was wrongly printed as 'i').
The new theory helps to protect aquatic ecosystem health and good quality of water resources.

It is the first article to report that the chemicals (potential pollutants, ecotoxicants), representatives of all the three classes, produced a toxic effect on marine mussels. They decreased (inhibited) water filtration by the marine mussels. The bivalve mollusks were taken from a natural population in the Atlantic Ocean, next to the coast of England. Useful to combat chemical pollution, and to improve conditions for growth of marine mussels in aquaculture. This article is a result of a joint research project of scientists of United Kingdom (Plymouth Marine Laboratory) and Russian Federation (Moscow University).

Abstract:

A series of publications on the studies of phytotoxicity of chemicals (pollutants, ecotoxicants), carried out by the author and his research group, have been reviewed. Tests (bioassays) based on experiments with many higher plant species, both terrestrial and aquatic ones (macrophytes), were used in these studies. Among the chemicals tested there were various organic (synthetic detergents, surfactants, and pesticides) and some inorganic (e.g., metal oxide nanoparticles) compounds. New methods for bioassay using plant species never used before have been developed by the author. New facts of phytotoxicity of a synthetic detergent have been discovered and reported. Specifically, an aqueous solution of liquid detergent Frosch (Werner & Mertz, FRG) at a concentration of 0.25 mL/L (and higher concentrations) inhibited the elongation rate of seedlings of Lens culinaris higher plant species. Also, phytotoxicity of synthetic cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide has been reported for the first time. This surfactant at a concentration of 4 mg/L inhibited the elongation of Lens culinaris plant seedlings. The phytotesting methods contribute to the development of alternative approaches to studying the toxicity of chemicals through non-animal testing.

phytotoxicity, biotest, phytotest, alternative methods, non-animal, testing toxicity, hazard assessment, bioassay, plant seedlings, detergent, cationic, surfactant, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, Lens culinaris, Fagopyrum esculentum, Sinapis alba, Lepidium sativum,
