“…Other researchers (Melching and Chang, 1996) have observed similar increases in BOD as previously discussed without being able to identify an associated known point source of BOD. Melching and Chang (1996) also cited a study done by the New Jersey Department for Environmental Protection ( 1987), which indicated similar results. It was stated in the New Jersey report that algal respiration within the BOD sample results in elevated concentrations of BOD.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
