Biochemical Oxygen Demand Measures

Biochemical Oxygen Demand Measures Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a crucial environmental parameter.  Biochemical Oxygen Demand  Measures the amount of oxygen consumed by microorganisms during the decomposition of organic matter in water. The BOD test is designed to determine the organic strength of wastewater, and it is widely used to assess the quality of water resources. The  Biochemical Oxygen Demand  Measures  test involves measuring the oxygen consumed by microorganisms during the biodegradation of organic matter in the water sample over a specified period. Generally, the BOD test is conducted over a period of five days, and the result is expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per liter of the water sample (mg/L). The  Biochemical Oxygen Demand  Measures  the total amount of organic matter present in the water sample, including organic matter that is not biodegradable. The BOD value is determined by subtracting the oxygen consumed by the microorganisms in a control samp
