What is innovative in this paper? What is FIRST and NEW:

1. The first in-depth analysis both experimental and theoretical- of the total sum of natural and anthropogenic factors that control the balance of plankton (including phytoplankton) populations in freshwater and marine environments. This control of the balance is a key to environmental safety and sustainability of water sources. 2. A new quantitative parameter and formula was suggested and measured in this paper: the efficiency of cell elimination from water by filter-feeders, ECE. 3. New experimental data on environmental hazards from seven kinds of the commercially available laundry detergents to aquatic invertebrates (filter-feeders, bivalves). As mentioned above, a new parameter and formula is suggested: the efficiency of cell elimination from water, ECE. The following maximum values of ECE were found (at the concentrations of the chemical, mg/l, in brackets): (1) Detergent OMO, Unio tumidus, 186.7 (50); (2) Detergent Losk-Universal, Mytilus galloprovincialis, 551.7 (7); (3) Detergent Tide-Lemon, Mytilus galloprovincialis, 206.9 (50); (4) Detergent IXI, M. galloprovincialis, 157.8 (10); (5) Detergent Deni-Automat, Crassostrea gigas, 10 800.0 (30); (6) Detergent Lanza, Crassostrea gigas, 261.7 (20); (7) Detergent VesnaDelikat, Crassostrea gigas, 200.0 (1); The tables in the paper, with the innovative data: Factors of regulation of unicellular plankton abundance (Tab.1); effects of surfactants and detergents on phytoplankton abundance (Tab.2); 7 detergents inhibit filtration of 3 species of marine and freshwater molluscs (Tab.3); Mytilus galloprovincialis eliminates from water the cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and algae Pavlova lutheri = M. lutheri as a result of filtration (comparing the 2 processes at the same time, Tab. 4).
