BOD is typically reported as 5 day BOD and ultimate BOD at 20 C and reported as milligrams of oxygen consumed per liter (mg O/L). BOD 5 is used by regulatory agencies for monitoring wastewater treatment facilities and monitoring surface water quality. BOD is the biochemical oxygen demand of the water and it is related to the concentration of the ba [..]

The quantity of Oxygen consumed by biodegradation of organic materials in a Water sample by measuring over a specific Time period.

The amount of oxygen needed by the organisms living in an aquatic environment.

(BOD) - a chemical procedure for determining how fast biological organisms use up oxygen in a body of water.

The capacity of organic matter and other substances in water to consume oxygen during decomposition.
