About this document
Wastewater Quality: BOD and COD Explained by Farida Hartati is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses wastewater quality indicators such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). BOD and COD are laboratory tests used to determine if wastewater will negatively impact aquatic life. BOD measures oxygen consumed during microbial degradation of organic pollutants over 5 days. COD measures oxygen required to chemically oxidize organic pollutants, including non-biodegradable materials. Higher BOD/COD values indicate more polluted water.
