L'oxydation de la matière organique dans une lagune aérobie est analogue à l'épuration naturelle dans les cours d'eau. Si l'oxygène est maintenu en suffisance, l'élimination de la DBO peut être exprimée par une réaction du premier ordre [...] 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9limination%20de%20la%20DBO

Les abréviations anglaise «BOD» et française «DBO» sont employées généralement de préférence aux expressions complètes correspondantes; c'est sans doute pourquoi l'expression "élimination de la demande biochimique en oxygène" n'apparaît dans aucun des documents consultés. Toutefois, une telle occurrence étant toujours possible, j'ai pris la liberté de l'ajouter comme synonyme. 5, record 1, French, - %C3%A9limination%20de%20la%20DBO
