2. bilge water
Attributes which determine quality of wastewater:
1. dispersed substances - amount of substances
dispersed in a unit of volume of water (mg/l or g/m3)
2. biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) which determines
the amount of oxygen required to biologically break down
organic matter by microorganisms (mgO2/l)
3. indicator organism - his presence in waste water indicates
that water may contain pathogenic organisms. As an
indicator organism, coliforms are applied.
