Question

8. What B O D? What is its significance?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

biological oxygen demand (BOD) is also called biochemical oxygen demand. The BOD refers to the amount of oxygen required for the biotic degradation of organic matter in bodies of water. The BOD is a pollution parameter mainly to asses the quality of effluent or wastewater.

Biochemical Oxygen Demand or Biological Oxygen Demand, is a measurement of the amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) that is used by aerobic microorganisms when decomposing organic matter in water. BOD can be measured in real-time with our BOD analyzer to improve wastewater process control and plant efficiency.
