The Inhabitant Equivalent (IE) is a notion used in sanitation to evaluate the size of waste water treatment plants, it corresponds to an estimate of pollution caused by the "inhabitant equivalent" defined thus :
- 60 g/inhabitant/day for DBO5
- 90 g/inhabitant/day for suspended matter
- 15 g/inhabitant/day for total nitrogen
- 4 g/inhabitant/day for total phosphor
