- Abstract
- In order to understand the natural processes of detoxification of toxic wastes and waste waters, it is worthwhile to consider the main challenges to the current conceptualization of the types of matter in the biosphere. To meet and respond to the challenges, the author suggested a new conceptualization which is based on his suggestion to identify so called ex-living matter (ELM). The author discusses his experiments (carried out together with his co-authors) which provide a solid factual foundation to this conceptualization, as well as other data available in literature. The main functions of ELM in the biosphere were also formulated and considered by the author. Some alternatives and variants in verbal expression to be used as a name for the new type of matter are also included in the publication.
