Question
What are biodegradable and non-biodegradable detergents? Give one example of each class.
✓
Answer
Biodegradable detergents are those detergents which are easily degraded by the micro-organisms and hence are pollution free.
ex. Soap/Sodium laurylsulphate.
Non Biodegradable Detergents are those detergents which cannot be degraded by the bacteria easily and hence create pollution.
