Question

The amount of biodegradable organic matter in sewage water can be estimated by measuring (A) biochemical oxygen demand (B) the growth of anaerobic bacteria in water (C) biogeological oxygen demand (D) the growth of aerobic bacteria in water

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Biochemical oxygen demand is the measure of oxygen required by aerobic decomposers for biochemical degradation of the organic materials. BOD indicates the degree of organic pollution in water.
