Aerobic biological oxidation ponds used for the purification of polluted water__________________?

Correct answer: D. All A., B. & C.

  • A. Destroys/removes pathogen from the sewage
  • B. Is not very effective for non-biodegradable substances (e.g. ABS) containing effluents
  • C. Destroys/removes pathogen much more effectively if the sewage is chlorinated
  • D. All A., B. & C.

Explanation

Aerobic oxidation ponds reduce pathogens and biodegradable organic matter, but they are ineffective against many non-biodegradable compounds such as ABS. Subsequent chlorination improves pathogen removal, so all three statements apply.
