What is Understanding Biochemical Oxygen Demand about?
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material in a body of water over 5 days at 20°C. A BOD test determines the amount of oxygen consumed during this process, providing a measure of the degree of organic pollution. Higher BOD levels mean less dissolved oxygen is available for aquatic life, potentially causing stress or death. BOD is affected by temperature, pH, microorganisms present, and type of organic material
