ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.
          ------------

          On April 27, 1995, Envirogen, Inc. (the "Company") issued and sold 
280,000 shares of the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value 
$.01 per share, 140,000 of which were voluntarily converted into an aggregate of
1,400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on December 28, 1995 and 97,000 
of which were voluntarily converted into an aggregate of 970,000 shares of the 
Company's Common Stock on May 23, 1996. Effective May 31, 1996, the remaining 
43,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were voluntarily converted
into an aggregate of 430,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. After giving 
effect to the foregoing conversions, on May 31, 1996 the Company had outstanding
12,853,240 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.

          As a result of the Company's experience with the destruction of 
hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide, the Company was awarded a contract in 
January 1995 from the Nylonge Corporation, a synthetic sponge manufacturer 
located in Ohio, to design and install a biofiltration system to control a 
30,000 cfm exhaust air flow. Shortly after installation, however, the system 
suffered a shutdown in January 1996, which the Company believes was primarily 
caused by a failure of internal grating material supplied by third parties. The 
Company is currently working to restart the system at an estimated cost of 
approximately $400,000, although there can be no assurance that the actual cost 
to restart the system will not exceed the Company's estimate. The Company is 
currently in discussions with its insurance carrier and certain third parties 
involved in the project to determine which of such entities, if any, will bear 
the responsibility for the cost of restarting the system.

the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the 
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
