What is meant by the term “biological oxygen demand”? It is the required amount of oxygen for microbes to break down inorganic phosphates and nitrogen compounds in oil spills. It is the amount of oxygen required for aerobic organisms to break down organic matter in a body of water. It is the amount of oxygen needed for anaerobic degradation in wastewater. Which of the following xenobiotic chemicals was redesigned to be biodegradable? greenhouse gases inorganic nitrogen compounds laundry detergents Choose the answer that explains the emergence of Lyme disease in the northeastern United States. The Northeast area of the country was slower to develop adequate wastewater treatment plans, leading to the spread of Lyme disease through contaminated drinking water. Larger amounts of rainfall increased the mosquito population, the vector for transmission of Lyme disease to humans. Restoration of woodland areas increased the deer tick population, the vector for transmission of Lyme disease to humans.
