'''Anaerobic''' is a technical word which literally means ''without air'' (where "air" is generally used to mean [[oxygen]]), as opposed to [[aerobic]].
In wastewater treatment the absence of oxygen is indicated as ''anoxic''; and ''anaerobic'' is used to indicate the absence of a common electron acceptor such as nitrate, sulfate or oxygen. An '''anaerobic''' [[adhesive]] is a bonding agent that does not cure in the presence of air.
'''Anaerobic''' refers to:
*[[Anaerobic clarigester]], is a form of anaerobic digester
*[[Anaerobic contact process]], is a type of anaerobic digester
*[[Anaerobic digestion]], (AD) is the harnessed and contained, naturally occurring process of anaerobic decomposition
*Anaerobic environment, an aquatic environment with little available oxygen - see [[Hypoxia (environmental)]]
