General comment Adsorbable organic halogens (AOX) represent a pollution monitoring parameter that includes the total amount of chlorinated, brominated, and iodinated organic compounds that can be adsorbed on activated carbon from different environments. AOX is used to assess the presence and concentration of these organohalogen compounds in water, soil, and other materials, which are indicative of anthropogenic pollution. Monitoring AOX levels is important for environmental protection and regulatory compliance. |
