Environmental pollution is one of the reasons of loss of a biodiversity. More than 170 countries develop national strategies in the field of biodiversity preservation. Studies by the scientists in different countries showed continuous accumulation of a classical complexon of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in the World Ocean that leads to poisoning of plankton, fishes, birds and the higher animals. The Ekover firm developed a so-called "The non-use code" where EDTA is ranked as number one. Instead of half measures to restrict the environment-harmful EDTA, we offer radical replacement of this widely used connection by ecologically safe complexones, derivatives of succinic acid (EDDS). They in the conditions of natural dumpings quickly decay under the influence of a sunlight. Timely implementation of such measures will be more effective and less expensive, than inaction or postponement of actions for any later period.
