After five days the BOD exerted is measured as 90mg/l. what is the coefficient of degradation in this case? (©) A polluted water sample of BODs concentration of 225mg/l was extracted from a tailings dam on a mine approximately 30 meters in diameter and 8 meters in depth, What mass (kg) of this pollutant BOD is contained in the tailings dam?
