Which of the following statement is not true?
pH of drinking water should be between 5.5-9.5
Concentration of DO below 6 ppm is good for the growth of fish
Clean water would have BOD value of less than 5 ppm
Oxides of sulphur, nitrogen and carbon are the most widespread air pollutant
Dissolved oxygen (DO) -
Amount of oxygen that water can hold in the solution
- wherein
DO in cold water = 10 ppm.
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) -
The amount of oxygen required for five days in one litre of water at 200 C for the microorganisms to metabolite organic waste.
- wherein
Clear water has BOD less than 5 ppm , highly polluted water has BOD of 17 ppm or more.
Concentartion of dissolved oxygen below 6ppm hindered the growth of fishes.
