The environmental and hygienic value of detergents in the occurrence of chemical emergencies (a review)

: The environmental and hygienic value of detergents--surfactants in the occurrence of emergencies is largely determined by their physicochemical properties and their effect on the self-purifying capacity of soil, water reservoirs, and the behavior of man-made pollutants in the environmental objects. The critical levels of anionic surfactants have been established.
