Correct choice is (a) True

Best explanation: Ferrous ions can be added to supplement biological phosphate removal with chemical precipitation, if particulate COD is separated in primary sedimentation pond. Sometimes the toxic metals retention in the environment leads to increase in toxicity of the substance in the environment leading to increased health risks.
