Industrial effluents include organic and inorganic chemical pollutants released from breweries, tanneries, paper mills and other industries. They cause water pollution. Due to which, biological oxygen demand (B.O.D.) of water bodies increases. B.O.D. is the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to decompose organic substances in water. More organic matter present in water leads to a high amount of B.O.D.
