In municipal sewage, BOD values (in ppm) are:
1-5
100- 4000
50-90
20-40
B.
100- 4000
The amount of oxygen required by bacteria to break down the organic matter present in a certain volume of a sample of water is called biochemical oxygen demand(BOD). The amount of BOD in the water is a measure of the amount of organic material in water in terms of how much oxygen will be required to break it down biologically. Clean water have BOD value less than % ppm whereas highly polluted water such as municpal sewage has BOD value more than 100ppm.
In environmental chemistry, the medium which is affected by a pollutant is called as the.......
sink
slag
solvent
receptor
The maximum prescribed concentration of copper in drinking water is :
0.5 ppm
3 ppm
0.05 ppm
5 ppm
