ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the topical problem in the combined effect of detergents and priority pollutants (pesticides, mineral fertilizers, and heavy pollutants) on the body and the quality of the environment. Under combined man-made environmental pollution, surfactants may substantially alter the behavior and toxicity of many chemical substances, which requires that these studies should be continued.

Based on the study of subcutaneous injection of lecithin-cholesterol liposomes, its possible toxic effect is discussed and the effect threshold is determined. It is shown, that long-term subcutaneous liposome administration is attended with hepatic cell damage. One or two injections of the preparation does not cause a toxic lesion of the viscera and may be used for therapeutic purposes. A considerable threshold-subthreshold dosage range allows for vast variability of administered liposome amounts.
