26 April, 2018 CSE releases India’s first inspection manual for monitoring continuous emissions and effluent quality
29 October, 2012 CSE recommends BOD as suitable parameter for water quality, wants equipment approval simplified Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a satisfactory parameter to measure water quality. However, the process of measurement should be improved and speeded up. Two ways of doing this are using a bio-sensor based system or a spectrophotometer, that give results within minutes and are nearly as accurate as laboratory-based monitoring. That said, conventional laboratory testing must also be made more robust with clear protocols for sampling, transport and testing.
