Question

How is the BOD of waste water related to polluting potential?

Answer 1

BOD of waste water-related to polluting potential:

1. The process of calculating the quantity of oxygen required by microbes to break down garbage in the water supply is known as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).
2. It is a metric for the number of organic materials in water.
3. If there are a lot of organic wastes in the water supply, there will be a lot of decaying bacteria in the water as well.
4. As a result, the value of BOD will rise.
5. The greater the polluting potential of wastewater, the higher the BOD.
